I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I thought I said that.

I guess I didn't make it clear.

Sorry, I was reading through all the messages at once, I may have missed it.

Ya, now I see that. Of course, I'd already started wiping the drive, and apparently OS9 needs sharing on for AppleTalk to be on, and apparently Drive Setup can't be running with Sharing on. Crazy.

I got the old Yamaha CDR102 out, and burned a disk at 2x speed of the files. Now I'm watching a very slow progress bar go by as it wipes the drive.

Somehow, I don't remember installing a 2nd drive on this machine. Boy was I wacky! 2 drives, in one machine. Who would need such madness as that?

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

I just got a text message from my sister telling me my parents were about to toss my ZX Spectrum 16. I had no idea it was still around! So now I need it desperately, of course. I wonder how best to display it around the house.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So what rechargeable batteries do people recommend for a digital camera (Canon Powershot A530)?

I generally don't use rechargables in digital cameras. I find they have no life at all in a gadget like that.

I found the opposite Sean. AA NiMH batteries that are at least 2200 mAh work great in digital cameras and in my old Canon A40 used to give me almost 200 additional shots over Alkaline. Rechargable 9v batteries are a different story. I used both Duracell and Enegergizer rechargables.

can't say for cameras, but we use NiMH 22mAh AA batteries for our wireless intercom. Mind you they transmit and receive radios. We could go a good 10-12 hours without needing to swap batteries.
