Xposty form Bitches, but I think it's neat.
So my aunt lives in a senior's residence. They have a table for discarded things the owners don't want or if a sad passing has happened, relatives sometimes leave odds and ends there.
My cousin Steve said that his mom noted an old digital camera there and he picked it up and brought it to me because he couldn't figure out how to work it.
I took one look at it and said, "This is not a digital camera. It's a film camera." He pointed out to me something he said was a port, but I recognized as a flash port. I also decided I had seen one before. The case was leather and very old, and the camera was sleek aluminum.
We were going out and about so I took it with me to the stores, and then to lunch. after lunch I took it out and yes, there was no mistaking it as a tiny film camera. It had ASA speeds up to 400 and shutter speeds up to 1/1000. It also had a light meter, and distance markings from 8 inches to infinity.
I have subsequently ID'd it as a Minox model B, the preferred camera of spys and spy flicks for over 70 years.
I hope he lets me keep it....
Very neat. Can you still get film for it?
Yes, so far $10 for 36 exposure cartridges. Pan or color.

Ooh. I've always wanted one of those. Funny about how it was mistaken for a digital camera.
So, Adobe Flash insists that i update. I do. Then I have to restart, which I didn't want to do right that second, so now any site with flash didn't work. I finally restart, and now I still have to download some other plugin. WTF? THIS is why I don't update shit. It's more trouble than it's worth.
Looking for someone to possibly do a conversion of a large number of documents (not mine) from Wordstar to Word. Including an 800 page novel.
When you're done chuckling - or even before, hit my profile addy.
A quick google suggests that FileMerlin has a trial version. (Don't know how good a program FileMerlin is, or whether the particular features you would need are disabled in the free download.) FileMelin does include WordStar translation.

Vortex, what prompted the request to update Adobe Flash? I've heard about some malware exploits using that. A quick google turns up:

ISTR that the exploit prompts you to install v9 of Flash. My current version is 10,0,12,36
