What good is a contract if the government won't let the *phone dial* anyhow?

Anyone know what the *official* status from the FCC is?
... in color copiers? I seem to recall back in the day of the new Canon CLC series of copiers (200 ~ 500) that in the yellow pass of the 4 color process, the serial number of the machine was printed across the page in its microfinely goodness. I seem to recall a counterfeiter was caught from this method.
I've been shooting for some time now & have a serious love for Nikon's. The FM series is older (came out in the late 70's I believe), but is a fully manual camera (no batteries needed unless you want to use the light meter - like the Pentax K1000). Having sunk a few Nikons in lakes (they dry well after a few hours), dropped them down multiple flights of stairs (Nikon's look better w/a few dings & scratches anyhow), I've found they just don't fail. This model can be had for @ $125~$150 used (adorama.com is where I just bought one for my stepson taking his 1st photo class) and can use any brand of lens, as long as its the Nikkor mount. Tamron lenses are good for a 3rd party lens (and cheaper), but I'll still prefer Nikkor glass for best image quality.
