either.Our mature family has taken enough pictures and continues to do so every time they come home to fill a disk. That is fine by us if you are into that sort of thing, however when I get up at 5am and look in the mirror to shave every morning I see no change in my appearance and when I look across at the old girl she always looks the same to me and me to her.
One of our children bought me a camera for Fathers Day this year and when I found out what they paid for it I nearly had my first stroke
. Way to much, over $1500.00 and more buttons on the dam thing than a GPS unit. I made them take it back, I would have been scared of dropping it or even worse, leaving it somewhere.However I am now being convinced by the family to upgrade this computer and the printer/ scanner which I have never used and upgrade this whole kit with the top of the line which the family want to purchase for the old girl and me.
I know the old girl would probably use it but not likely myself, I am not computer orientated nor have I ever taken a course on computers.
Call me old fashion but I rarely use the GPS other than for back-up, I always said when they hung those suck and blow things under the wing that was another mistake. If it does not have a propeller should it really be flying?
Our children tell us (I hate calling them children as they all are pilots and have families of their own now) that I can take a picture with the camera and come in and hook it to the computer and send it to someone on this forum with no problems. I only have to log on to this forum. They said I could also send you a postcard of that shot in the mail as well.
This all sounds great and it probably comes with a hefty price tag as well, I know money is not a concern for them however would we really use this system? Can it be as simple as what they are trying to make us believe, if so I guess we will go for it but I am not interested in taking a computer course for six or so weeks to do this.
I posted this as I value the input of others and weigh the opinions of others prior to making a decision. I find our membership here knowledgable and dedicated to making this a great forum so I am asking for your input about computers and cameras and are they really that easy to use together.
Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
