Thank you for that report!  I used to work a ten minute walk from Otto 
and ended up going by there once or twice a week (sometimes every day), 
so it was quite natsukashii to read that.  I still cruse by there when 
I'm in Akihabara, but that's not often these days.  Shinjuku, on the 
other hand, I'm spending more time in, so if someone has a Yodobashi 
Camera question, zap away and I'll swing by and check whatever out.  I'm 
not in Shinjuku every day, but usually two or three times a week.
