You should really get a PayPal account...will appeal to more bidders.

Yeah, after working with Nikon View and browser/editor, it seems they're pretty decent. I haven't worked with RAW files yet (just JPEG), but it seems quite speedy as far as generating thumbnails, etc. This over 2-megapixel resolution thing is going…

My D70 came yesterday -- a day early!! But I promised myself not to open it up until after tonight's last organic II test EVER (well, at least there's still the exam, but meh). This is a very classy rig for a "consumer" badged model. The lens come…

That's probably Fuji and their "Super CCD." Supposedly, because of the shape of each pixel....I don't know. It's nonsense. You would be best to use the camera in the standard, downsampled mode. The pictures at the interpolated levels stink.

www.melpiercecamera.com They probably have more in stock, but the owner acted like they were "going fast." A ploy probably nonetheless, but I bought the camera anyway.

Woo-hoo!! Just got the D70 with 18-70 AF-S lens kit for $1269 (with ground shipping)!! If anyone else is looking for these, don't seek the prize at eBay. I can't believe these people trying to pawn off these things for over $1300. I'll say where…

So it looks like next Christmas or MWSF in Jan. we'll see 'G5' PBs -- if even that early. This update is pretty hefty, and even the old 'books are still selling really well.

Okay...I have disposable income, which probably won't happen again for a long time (did some diligent "eBay-ing" this past week -- getting rid of a useless PDA, old cameras). The allure of a new digicam is getting harder to resist, especially the D…

Isn't the SC300 a V8? Or ist it just the SC400? Meh, a sweet car anyhow ---- our local orthopedic surgeon has driven his for almost 14 years now (just recently got a newer used ES300 but still has the SC). It will be very nice to live with. oh…

So are you saying because Jobs tried to be a nice guy that we're in the Windows/Mac world today? Or would have Gates gotten his hands on the code anyway? It seems like Apple made a wrong move even getting involved with apps from MS....guess ther…

I like SPF Jeff's information very, very much. It is great that it proposes Apple getting the PowerBooks to G5 first before the iMacs. Professionals aren't going to get a G5 iMac before they get a G5 PowerBook --- when it comes out, Apple's going …

What about autofocus performance on these smaller all-in-one "prosumer" cameras? Have they gotten better since, say, the Nikon Coolpix 950? This is one aspect that still justifies having an SLR in my opinion, but if owners of the higher-end P&…

Mein Gott!! Ich gehe verrückt -- mit allen diesen Ebenen von Deutsch!! Was mache ich schon nächstes Semester, als ich in Leipzig sein werde?!! Ich hab' gehört, daß der Sachsen-Deutsch wirklich furchtbar ist...aber diese Schweize Sprachart ist "inte…

That Park Avenue is really slick -- with that mileage, too!!! Wow! I was seriously considering replacing my Tahoe last year with a big nice Buick or Impala (provided they had most repairs done already), but the trade in value on the Tahoe is not wh…

Beware Buicks....I wouldn't personally buy one unless whoever selling it has all the service records (so that you know if something hasn't gone wrong that might happen soon -- check websites about particular model/year problems). Generally they're …
-
I do hope it's just a misleading x-ray, and that the problems won't be severe. But if it's not, and if your family wants to fight it, come to Houston and M.D. Anderson, please. People may say really bad things about Houston and its reputation, but…
-
I don't understand people that shower longer than 15 or 20 minutes, either. Personally 15 seems obscene at that point. It's especially been bad in the suite-style dorms here on campus; there's one jerk next door who enjoys spending almost 45 minut…
-
Agreed----way too small, like the 4Runner, other SUVs that have such impressive ground clearance but awful head-/legroom. Groverat, just get a Tahoe and be done with it, yeah?
-
Do you know where in Houston you're going to live yet? So much has grown in just the past five years....I commuted an hour daily this past summer to work in the medical center (but that's 'cause I live an hour away and it was cheaper to pay for gas…

Most Europeans wouldn't use slashes, either....so they know what he's talking about. Yes, things are strange. Either something huge is brewing......or else Apple is making enough money with the products as they are and doesn't want to change i…
