all hail saizai!

For he hath provided me with a program that dug my sorry ass out of my file loss! It recovered everything! Everything! My 127-page long quotefile! (I thought it was longer, but it occurs to me that I had culled it a while back.) My book list, down to the one I had added shortly before my abortive attempt to upgrade to WinXP! No "w00t" could possibly express my joy right now!

*hurries to back it all up in triplicate*

the moment of truth

Camera (Kodak EasyShare DX6340) has been bought.

Similar-ish 5-megapixel version would have been bought if it was more similar- that is, if it had had the same range of manual control as the 3-mp 6340 has. But it doesn't, so it wasn't. Which is pooey, since it was otherwise not that much more money, for plenty more megapixels. But oh well. I mainly want something to carry around to snap on moment's notice, anyway, not something to produce 11x17s with. (If I wanted that, I'd lug around the view camera and set me up some tray processing. ^_^)
