Blood is lifeenergy, lackbrain. Why do you think we eat it? It's what keeps you going, makes you warm, makes you hard, makes you other than dead.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Have bought camera! Nikon Coolpix 5600. Haven't opened it yet, as am waiting for my sister to tell me what sort of camera she has that they would be willing to send me (long story, they found it, and don't need it...). If hers isn't spiffy, I'm keeping this one.
Also the 1gig memory card was on sale for the same price as the 512, so I got it. Hoping it'll be enough. No clue, really, though I don't really remember ot take pictures a lot, even when travelling.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm going to be ordering more RAM for my G5 when it arrives (which should be tomorrow or Tuesday, depending on FedEx), and I know ND recommended Other World Computing a while back. Are there differences I should know about among the brands they carry? (Samsung, Techworks, and their own.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Jess, dealram.com is a comparison site for RAM prices that you might want to check. Though that's just price comparison, not brand comparison. And I know nothing about brands.
So I was pretty unhelpful just now.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Yay! for new-camera-having, meara. I'm envious. And applause for picking a model that doesn't use proprietary batteries.
When your sister reports in with the type of camera she has to spare, you can probably find comparison info here: [link]

Are you ready to be strong?
Hey, geex, I want to get some new earphones for my iPod--the ones that come w/ it hurt my ears after a while. What are good ones to get?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I got the ones from the Apple store that come with rubber-ish earpieces in three different sizes. They've been great.

Yeah, I figure it may eat through AAs, but at least when I'm travelling, I'll be able to find more. Recharging not always easier.
I've been thinking of getting new headphones...possibly ones that are not white and screaming "I've got an iPod! Mug me!", given my neighborhood. But I do love how the earbuds take up next to no space in my bag/pocket/etc.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I use rechargeable AAs, and they are almost as easy to come by as alkaline AAs.
