Gosh, your last camera broke how? I'd check reviews on cnet and maybe nytimes? That's a pretty basic item these days, but I don't know what kind of sturdiness you're looking for.

That is the digital camera we got for about 100 bucks. My old HP digital started taking red pictures , fixable, but we weren't sure how long it was going to take. My HP was 2-4 yrs old and this little one is Much better. So i am guessing that 100 dollars gets you a pretty good basic digital camera. ( we bought with out investigating, because we were going to fix my old one )

ita, try the command line tool wget. It has a recursive option that should do what you want.

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

Rob, thanks, that looks like it did the trick. And the files work just fine off my hard drive. I'm not sure what problems the developer was having. Let me hand these to him tomorrow.

When I went to change the batteries, the new batteries did not work. tried with various sets and brands of batteries. An old Olympus we got on sale.

And thanks Beth. Sounds worth considering.

Are there Netbooks for under $300 that have a cd burner in them? Or should I give up hope on that? I'm trying to buy one for my crew, so they can check e-mails, and post to our google site while at work. It'd be great if they could burn a cd or two as needed during tech rehearsals. But I'm wanting cheap more than high function.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've never seen a netbook with a CD burner - AFAIK they all give up the optical drive so they can be made small.

Wget worked like a charm, Rick. Developer is all hooked up.

What tools do you guys use for web log analysis? For privacy reasons Google Analytics is pretty much off the table. Discussion here has centred around WebTrends and Unica Netinsight, but I was wondering what else was out there at the top of the market, especially something we could sample.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, typically netbooks don't even have CD *drives* let alone burners -- but we bought an external USB burner that we swap between netbooks and optical-drive-died laptops with 3 OSes, and it works perfectly, plug/play on all of them. I'd vote netbook for mobility and one or two externals at a central location if you *really* need it and it's not just make-work.

Also, we have a lot of weird/mismatched/half-dead hardware. This is probably not news.
