Angela’s new toy

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Angela braved the Friday morning crowds to pick up a new toy for us, well for her more than anything, but we’ll both be enjoying it. At $154 the Kodak EasyShare CX4300 digital camera was a nice addition to the family gadget collection. Anytime you can grab a 3.1 megapixel camera for that price, it’s worth it!

Not that I would have been lined up at Walmart at 5:45AM the way she and her mom, and numerous other people, were. I was still sleeping snugly in the bed while they were out on the shopping extravaganza, but I admire their dedication. 🙂

They even had 64MB SD cards real cheap too, so she got one of those to work with the camera. Now I figure we’ll have two digital cameras when the need arises between us, and I can always use the 128MB CF card back and forth between the HP digital camera and the Pocket PC, at least until I outgrow it. 🙂

I hope the rest of you are going to be getting cool toys for Xmas yourselves!

    Spent some time this weekend with the wife, and spent some time away from tech stuff, which was needed to get away from my tech frustrations at least. The other frustrations I was feeling on Friday were professional and they’re not going to change any time soon, that’s for sure, but at least I don’t…

    I spent over an hour helping one of the tenants of our office building with an email problem. He explained to me that he couldn’t send email, even though he was receiving email just fine. Figuring this was a server issue, or a simple settings issue, I agreed to go over and check all of…

    OK, I’ve got the MS Office beta, OneNote beta, InfoPath beta and Publisher beta installed. It wasn’t overly difficult and ran into only one small problem. Outlook on first start needed me to reinsert the Office CD in order to create the first “welcome message”. It was ok 1 minute later. Activation took about a…

    You want to work in IT? You might want to stretch first, so you can stay nimble. I have a long list of projects that need done this week. That list changed twice yesterday, one project being moved to next week, and another being added to this week. Today, that added project has been postponed…

  • An old friend

    Craig sent me an email over the weekend suggesting a PC newsletter that he had come across. Right off, I recognized the name and remembered subscribing to it years ago, but I didn’t know they were still around. Apparently though, the Internet Tourbus is still going strong.
