ION:
T-Mobile is opening a new store in my neighborhood. In honor of this, they have informed me that I am pre-approved for a new phone plan, which comes with a free, $70 Samsung flip-phone.
It does text messaging.

This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tom, there are a million things to learn before that need come in useful. Are you camera-shopping?

Wish I could help you Tom, but I still use a completely manual film camera!
I was thinking of converting to digital and borrowed my housemate's digital point and shoot for my trip down the coast. Since the battery died after just a few pictures, it only made me appreciate my old camera more.

Don't know. Don't think so.
It has a color screen.
And does Instant Messaging from all the most popular services.
It does speed dial....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Just to throw more confusion on the fire.... Generally, digital cameras advertise the number of pixels on the CCD, but the CCD tends to be a different size (smaller, I think) than a frame of 35mm film is. So as a result, a lens designed for a 35mm camera will produce somewhat different results when used on a digital camera. Ideally you'd want the CCD to be the same size as a frame of 35mm film - if this were the case then a lens designed for 35mm would act exactly the same on a digital camera.

Oooh! The Samsung phone does voice notes! I can't do that on my iPhone.

It's more that I don't have the funds for a digital SLR, but the battery issue brought home that I don't want to go completely digital. I do not want to have to bring chargers on vacation.

I tried to stay completely manual, but lens availability and price sure stopped that. My film SLR can go pretty auto, so there's a charger with me either way.

I was just kidding!
Wish I had the money for a nice digital SLR, though.
