I only use American Express, no problems!


They wouldn't take AmEx. That was my first choice.

Thanks for all the advice. I have reported the crime to the local police and the federal trade commission. I have cancelled the original card and received a replacement. I contacted legal aid for my state and have been told I make too much money. I am certain that the expense of any litigation with citicorp will far exceed the amount of the fraud. Thanks for all your help.

I received a call from someone representing him to be a Microsoft technician telling me that my computer was filled with bad stuff. In the past, of course, I just hung up, but the day before this I contacted a company called Restoro who charged me $135 to "clean" my computer. I assumed this was an extension of that. Anyway, I let him get access to my PC, and for the low price of $2.00, they would remove all the bad stuff. Well, dumb idiot I was, I tried to give them an American Express Card, they could not take that, so I gave them a Citi Bank Visa card that I only use at Costco. In about 5 minutes, I received a text from Citi Bank asking me if I authorized a cash advance of $1,997.99. I terminated the call with the scammer after indicating that he may be having an unnatural relationship with his mother and called the fraud department of Citi Bank. They actually put 2 charges through using an outfit called World Remit to send the funds to someone called Hazel and my last name in the Philippines. This happened on April 27, 2021. I disputed both charges and just last week they removed one of the charges, but one still remains. My question is, has anyone ever had occasion to not have a disputed charge removed from their credit card? I have an excellent credit score and although I really don't want to pay this, I'm afraid I will have no choice. Thanks for your help!

So was Clinton and many others....


The difference is that trump was called up and refused to go because he got some doctor to give him a false diagnosis of bone spur. Clinton and many others were never called up. Don't make excuses for a coward!!!

After I hit 75, I decided that all that gear was just too heavy. I sold all my Canon gear, three cameras and lots of red line lenses. My first purchase was a Sony RX10 Model IV. Recently, I purchased the Nikon P1000 because of the reach. I am very happy with the purchase and I don't notice much of a difference between the images produced by Canon and the images produced by Nikon. Good luck!

There is an article on the bbc news web site on Holy Loch.

I assume one or two of you have served there.

My wife and I were in La Maddelena in Italy when the last ship from Holy Loch (USS Frank Cable) was assigned there as the replacement for the USS Orion.

Now La Madd is closed... The subs are now serviced in Roda, Spain.


I was on a cargo ship, USS Alcor (AK259) that transported armament to the subs at Holy Lock. Made so many trips there I actually had a girlfriend there. Loved that place.

I am having a little bit of a hard time grasping Exposure Compensation. I understand that you are either adding or subtract from your exposure. So if you are doing a snow scene it seems you would subtract because the snow reflection is throwing off your metering. Do you adjust after you have your setting or before? What are other examples you would use a - or +? On a very cloudy day when you take a shot and it comes too dark, I would imagine you add?


I spent several summers in the 50's going to the Groton School Camp on Newfound Lake at Mayhews Island. Love Bristol.

Is there somewhere recommended to sell equipment? I have this camera for sale!


When I hit 75, I decided I would downsize all my equipment. I had several Canon bodies and red line lenses. I decided I could get more for the equipment if I sold them myself. I listed them, not all at once, on the local Craigslist. I met the buyers at a local McDonalds. Never had a problem, always received what I asked. Excellent experience all around. The thing about selling to a retail establishment is that you will never get as much as you will if you sell them yourself. After all, they have to make a profit. Good luck!

Glad that everything worked out for you, but please don't fall into the "I'm just an old guy" myth. At my age of 86 years I do recognize I can't do everything I did at 21 (run, walk miles of rugged mountains, etc.), but my mind is still good. Understanding computers and learning new software is not beyond my capabilities. Don't let a number define who you are. Keep learning and enjoying life.


You are exactly right I was just kidding.

Thanks for your help. I guess a 75 year old guy shouldn't try and do anything involving a computer. My mistake, I didn't transfer the correct file to the SD card that was inserted into the camera. I corrected the user error and updated the firmware.
