    :camera: He's getting a camera!
    I suspect server upgrades might be necessary once the photo-documentation begins.

    Yeah! Now I can get even with the guys that pulled that on me. :evilsmile: :biglaugh:

    It's a Canon PowerShot A560. I'm still reading the manuals, and I got Spanish manuals for my wife off the web (Canon's Global site.) Looks like a nice rig, with enough features to compensate for my rookie skills. :oops:

    Another day or so and I'll start posting. I need a different USB port or cable (wider) at the PC end.

    You'd think that if TV mfrs throw in all the extra cables you'll never use, that Canon could throw in a USB cable for both types of USB cable connections. Not! HandyAndy is on the hunt.

    I can't install the software without the cable and camera connected.

    BUT, this camera can make HUGE photos. And I've got just the printer. I've got an HP1000C that prints 11" X 17" in gorgeous color. Does a great job of full color pictures too. I may have to go to a printer to get glossy sheets, but it really does a nice job.

    Now I just have to find the right cars. I have to take the pics with this camera in several of its regular modes. It even takes Audio/Visual movies. Gonna be fun!

    My wife always pulls off pranks on me, when I'm taking a bath, with the film cameras. I keep telling her that she won't get them developed. I'm screwed now! :evilsmile: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

    That was an image that I did not need in my brain.

    Now you can take an 11 x 17 of your wagon and hang it on the wall so you can look at it in the winter when it's snow covered!:evilsmile:

    Have you ever wanted to be a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photographer?
    Heres a 'G' [barely] rated site where YOU can direct Daniella while you click away.
    It should be fun to play with before you get comfortable enough to begin shooting with your Cannon.

    Its sponsored by Taco Bell, so there isn't any nudity, but she does have a fabulous tan.:dance:

    Something the still frozen Norm lacks.
    Or maybe can't even imagine!

    I've got to get a cable. Andy thinks he may have one to test with and then we'll go to a place that sells them used (30 day warranty). It works or it don't right? I got my big printer there when it was only a year old for 1/6th the price of new.

    They sell on EBAY too, but they haven't got anything there right now.

    Good guys, straight shooters. They handle the Monitor and Cathode TV recycling for Manitoba.
