LOL here I am...no I am just watching TV, checking the trail cam cards. When I am at the lease I never check, to small a screen to do forums.

Went back to the DR today and there may be some more work to be done. Will know Fri. He put the lense (MS) back where it belongs but may still have to take it out and replace it. Have to see how my eye heals.

He did get the retna repaired and it looks fine now. I am having to use 4 diffrent drops in my eye up to 6 times a day. Needless to say no golf or shooting for awhile.

Thanks for all your well wishes and I will let you know how everything turns out and if he has to go back in again.

Glad to see you back Elmer.

Glad to hear you made it out the other side, Snow Bird! Can't wait to see you back at IDPA and showing us how to shoot those irons!

I finally broke down and ordered a new 2 TB external HD today. My laptop HD and my 1TB desktop external HD are both pretty much full. Unfortunately, my camera takes such large photo's and videos, that they eat up available space in a heartbeat. Since I want to shoot some more videos soon, I needed to add more HD space.

That brings up an interesting thing I discovered recently.

I admit that I quit studying and learning OSs 15 years ago when I got out of the computer business. Jump forward to a couple of years ago when my PC was on its last leg. I ran out and picked up a decent external HD and downloaded all of my photos, thousands of them.

So, I went to total Android systems because I just don't mess with computer stuff anymore other than email, forum surfing and video/audio viewing and listening.

I stopped at BestBuy one day and talked to the "expert", actually two of them. I asked if there was any way to view and transfer my photos on the portable HD to my Android tablet. They explained that I could not without an expensive setup to reformat files, etc. For some reason I didn't believe them. On the way out I went over to the computer accessories section and found a USB to the type of charging jack my tablet has (don't remember what that style connector is called). Got home, connected them and it works 100% perfectly. Cost of connector was less than $5.00.

I'm sure you tech guys know that but I couldn't find anything on line discussing the compatibility between the two file systems.

Damn that's a lot of media. I have never even filled up a 8gb memory card with pictures and videos.

I've filled up two 32GB SD cards in a day...

 

[madeSICC88]

Yea its pretty crazy how big photo and video files are now. We have a family Google drive account for my parents that we use to upload photos and videos so that they can have a place to keep up with each others lives and sometimes ill upload like 60sec videos and they are like 50-75mb. That's a lot of space for a video file that small and that's not even 1080 most the time.

 

[TraderDan]

how many polaroids will fit on 1 gb ?

 

[JohnAL]

2 if you fold them in half.

Heck John, that would put a crinkle down the belly on all those the bikini pics of ole aunt Mildred. of coarse it may blur out some of the hair.

 

[TraderDan]

any knowledge on which movie this thing may have came from?? looks kind of vampireish ??

 

[Viking1204]

Dan that looks like something similar to what Van Helsing used to kill vampires!

 

[TraderDan]

Thanks, it does look similar.

Don't you know there are no real experts at a big box store. They are either sales people paid on commission or kids making spending money. :kev:
