   And there are those of us who's first camera was the one that came in the   
   "Secret Sam" attache case.  Not some toy connected with a tv show, but   
   it must have been advertised on tv, and certainly was a result of   
   spies being the theme of movies and tv shows at the time.  And it   
   didn't even have a flash, or a place for a flash.
