To me the important thing in life is to "try" to take everything in stride. I have learned that the most important word in the dictionary is "attitude".

Lots of luck I hope it works out for you!

I turn 90 on May 2. I will try to remember to let you know "whether is is worth the wait".

Amen!

My wife (a gourmet cook) agrees with you. As for me . . . I do not know.

I have a Canon Powershot A1200 (also available as slightly upgraded A1300). Certainly not in the SLR field . . . but quite a credible piece considering it's low price and it will fit in my shirt pocket hanging on a neck strap . . . probably still available used for under $100. I think it is much nicer to use as a real camera, that has a genuine viewfinder than most all cell phones have.

My opinion: When streaming was started . . . it was mostly about getting the public "hooked". Now as planned . . . it is mostly about raising the price as much as traffic will bear. I think it's mostly about money!

Wish I could convince my wife of this!

A very good point!

Much of these comments are opinion . . . as it should be. Many/most of photographs I sometimes look at that friends/people took (in my opinion) could be improved by "filling the frame". Let me qualify this further by saying (again in "my opinion") I am talking mostly about photographs of people. How many times have you looked at someone's photo that depicts someone or perhaps a couple filling only 25% or perhaps 1/3rd of the frame when it could be more of a close up and one could then see the people in the photo better. And for the third time . . . "in my opinion".

Sounds like a good idea you have. However the economics of the situation have changed. I had a paper route when I was a kid. This was back in the mid 40's when almost every house on my route subscribed to The Seattle Times. Not so today. Very few subscribe today . . . probably mostly because of the high cost of delivered newspapers. Also I think it is too bad that kids no longer get the newspaper routes. Nowadays paper routes are delivered mostly by men (and sometimes women) in their cars and pickup trucks. Some people do not realize it . . . but times are tough in this income bracket. I went on to become a printer at the same newspaper that I delivered in Seattle and stayed there for 47 years before retiring at 65 years old. The last 20 years of working I was doing typesetting display ads on a computer. Today my old job does not exist. The type is now set in Japan and sent electronically to Seattle by wire. I now read the Manchester Guardian usually on my cell phone. I think it is the best newspaper I ever read.

I agree with you. Had the same experience . . . and it was not price that was the main thing.

I have used this reliability report most all of my life and it has served me well. Too bad American cars are not doing better. I'm especially sorry to see Lincoln so low on the list.

I sympathize with you. Unfortunately it looks like the "TV PLAN" including almost all the TV reception media is intent on raising prices when they can and do not have to. Yes . . . it seems to be all about more profit . . . for CEO's, board members and stockholders. Look for a future of much higher TV watching cost.
