no, not tired. anyways, gives me a chance to research sub-$300 cameras. going to new york in 3 weeks on a school trip and i plan on buying a new camera while there... So far I've narrowed it down  to these:

Sony CyberShot DSC H10-B

Fujifilm FinePix S1000FD

Nikon Coolpix P80

I'm buying from high-street stores so i have an oppertunity to flex my haggling  muscles. I'm not  looking for  anything amazing, just something a little  better than your average point-and-shoot.

[anecdote]
I found a Coolpix on the floor at the top of a ski lift in the french alps while away on holiday a few years ago. Handed it in to one of the holiday reps at the hotel i was staying  at asking them to give it to the police. i would do it myself, but  the french police have a bit of a rep for being a bit heavy handed with british tourists. anyway the next day i saw the holiday rep on the slopes using the camera!   cheeky bitch 'borrowed' the camera i asked to be handed to the police!

Anyways, I'm home now. even more bored and needing to  do my music technology work on the invention of the Hammond organ and Leslie rotating speaker...
