I have a Nikon D200!!!!!

So, I have been looking at DSLR cameras for months now, and I had finally decided on getting the D200 with a 18-200 lens. At last, one was on ebay in my price range, and the deal was struck. I watched the UPS tracker everyday since July 1st. D said that it was not a the Santa clause watcher, but I beg to differ! So on Friday, around 2 p.m. it finally arrived! As I opened it, I was so excited, of course the battery was not charged but what was worse is that the person had forgot to include the battery charger. I emailed her, and of course she apologized and said that she would ship it on Monday. Really?! I don't think so. D and I took a trip to Frys, his favorite computer store to look for a charger. They had one left, $29.99. We went home, put it on, and all I got was a green light. It stated clearly that the light was supposed to be red when charging. This charger also had a usb port, so I tried charging my ipod ... green light. Great, the only charger and it does not work. D assured me that about an hour away was another Frys and we would go the next day. So I could only hold the camera, no turning it on. Yesterday we got ready to go hunt for a charger. We finally found the perfect one! It charges from a car, a wall plug, it even has a British adapter and works on foreign voltage! $2.99. I got two. So the battery was charged last night about 10, and I finally got to turn it on. Patience is not my strong point.
