And after stink told me he was using a Kodak Z712 with some of the great pic's he took it has been on the list for months!!
Well I got thr Kodak Z812 as they were all out of the 712's, Looks the same and has all the same features, except it is a 8.2 MP instead of a 7.1 MP

I will be taking tons of pic's soon trying to get use to it!!

Congrats MJ!! Those are some nice gifts :) Pull Vista off your laptop . . . we've been doing some testing at work and in general Vista slows performance down on average 3x's over the same tasks on XP on the exact same hardware (brand new computers with 2gb of ram). It's a real problem for everyone using windows. I think somewhere it was ranked as the #1 technology disappointment in 2007.

My daughter's college refused to sell Vista as part of the college's computer rquirements...they said nothing but prblems w/ it ::) ...

are you sure it's a 1.8 processor? that's not the newest processor mine is 2 yrs old and has a 4.3 gig processor.

Probably a 1.8 dual core?

Santa brought me a pair of Muck Cikana fishing boots and some gift certs to my favorite local tackle shop. ;D

Amongst the plethora of other gifts, the kids somehow finagled an x-Box 360 out of Mrs. Claus ::)

Now they have Xbox, PS2, WII, Game Cube, 4 Computers, and miscelaneous other electronics. Nah, the kids aren't spoiled Honey, no, not at all ::)

Dual Core is correct!

MJ, you must have been a very good boy this year. How 'bout a picture of your new computer?

Me, I got a ticket for a fishing charter in January. I'm still not sure if that means I've been bad or good. ???
