The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Very neat. Can you still get film for it?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Yes, so far $10 for 36 exposure cartridges. Pan or color.

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 have subsequently ID'd it as a Minox model B, the preferred camera of spys and spy flicks for over 70 years.

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.

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: [link] and [link]

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

It wasn't an email, it was a pop up update, so i thought it was legit.
