xmas / birthday time
I got a few new toys so as to compensate myself for being a salary slave nowadays...An Olympus C-150 digicam, and a new mobo and vidcard for my PC.
The digicam is not bad though it chews through batteries quite quickly, and there seems to be quite a delay (1 second) from hitting the shutter to the photo actually being taken. On the good side it works perfectly with Linux as am USB storage device, and I like the chunky lens cpa that doebles as on/off switch and general robust construction.
After using Pentium/Pentium II grade gear for years at home I spent $305 and 2 cases of Coopers Red I now have an AMD K7 1.67Ghz CPU, new gigabtye MOBO and geforce2 videocard. And Nan and I have been catching up on all those newfangled openGL 3D games we have missed.
