Turn Your Canon Point-and-Shoot into a Super-Camera: [link]
It looks a little complicated to get it running, but I have a Canon model that will run this. I may have to attempt it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Telnetting into TiVos, playing chequers on cameras--will wonders ever cease?

I want to telnet into Tivo from my camera. I'm greedy like that.

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 want my Roomba to telnet into my Tivo from my camera and play Reversi with your Roomba.

We've come a long way, baby.
I have a co-worker who, upon seeing my *128 MB* thumb drive (hey, I bought it 5 years ago!) was ASTONISHED. You would have thought that I had showed him the tiny people in the TV or something. Actual comment:
"That's, like....60 times bigger than a floppy disk! ...But why would you ever need that much storage? Everything *I* need fits on a floppy!"
This is the same person who pronounced the Mac Mini "unusable" because it doesn't have a floppy drive. When I pointed out that none of the Power Mac towers have floppy drives, either, he said, "How does Apple not go under if they're making products that don't have drives that people need?!?"
He's a little behind the times. We haven't told him about The Internets yet.

I think all personal computers became "unusable" then they took the "turbo" button off. How are we supposed to play our early '80s DOS games???

I still have a CP/M machine down at my folks place. It's in a homemade wooden case and it has 8" Floppy drives. I wonder if it would even start up at this point.
