Nope - the shutter release works - I can take perfectly good pics framing with the LCD (my 128Mb card shows 68 HQ free - I also tried the 32Mb supplied SM)
Yes ! At least thats what it appears like to me.
Unfortunately the clear light of morning has not shown the situation to be different than a few hours ago. If I point the lense to the sun I can just make out a bright light in the viewfinder (it's real faint though, must be agood blind !).

!I wished I knew what to tell you. Maybe one of the veterans around
here can help you out. I'm lost.
Sorry,
Vance.
I'm a little disappointed to say the least especially because of my
imminent trip (haven't talked to service yet but seems unlikely
that they will get it back to me in 6 days) but on the bright side:
1) I'm the only one I know who has seen this problem (so it's
probably very rare)
2) I'll take it as a challange to produce killer pics with LCD only
in Thailand and Japan.
3) The E-10 is still an awesome product and this is an AWESOME
newsgroup - thanks to everyone !
If I get one or 2 good ones in my 2x128Mb and 2 weeks I'll post
then for critique when I get back

Ya, roger that, probably fair comment ("don't do this at home kids
!") - don't worry I pointed it a couple of pretty strong light
sources before the big one 93x10^6 away!
Again, at the potential expense of my health I can confirm that
it's a damn good curtain Oly put in there - the sun was barely a
glimmer
-------------------------------------------
Turns out that:
1) Oly service says they average a 2 week turnaround and they
couldn't be bribed (I tried!).
However ...
2) Yesterday I went to take a vertical shot (via LCD) and the
curtain popped half-back - more jiggling gave a clear viewfinder (I
had tapped and jjiggled the lever before but stupid me never though
ot reoorienting the whole camera before !)
Soooooooooo, I'm back in biz I think - I'll save the repairs till
after the trip now I have no excuse for taking awesome pics,
lights, camera -> Action !
Whew! Don't scare us ol' HMO-chasers like that - biggest sunspot
in the history of the Universe s'posed to occur soon, too... Had
the same thing break on my F3 once, though; pretty uncommon I think.

Ha ha ! Yes, I heard about that sunspot activity, bet the
commercial RF comms/ham radio guys are not liking it too much !
Interesting to hear it happened on an F3 - OK, thats pretty good
company, correlates with the ongoing assumption of rareness !
