I hope the developer is correct that the new digest format is best for the majority of the subscribers. I tried it and for the few sections that I browse I find it easier to go to the home page, select one of the sections and browse till I run out of postings labeled "New." A few more screens, but quicker for me.

This is a naive question but I want to solve it. Why my Lumix' ZS50 24-720 zoom lens show wider the images than my Sony's a6000 18-135 Sony lens, although the first is 24 wide and the second is 18 wide?
What's going on?
PS. First is Lumix and second is Sony

The Lumix numbers of 24-720 represent what a full 35mm sensor would see. The A6000 has an APSC size sensor which has a crop factor of 1.5. In other words if your 18-135 was on a full frame body like an A7 it would be 18-135 but the A6000 only sees part of the full frame which makes your 18-135 look like what a 36-202.5 would on a full frame sensor. Your pictures represent the field of view of an 18mm and a 36mm lens on a full frame camera.

OK Jerry when are you going to post a video of you doing that on a ukulele?

I had the pleasure of hearing her speak when I lived in the DC area. I even got one of her Nano Seconds. She was one of the best speakers I've ever heard. She could explain a complex subject in an easy to understand and humorous way.

Is she lost?
I don't think she's lost. We live in a golf course subdivision that used to be a tree farm and they left a lot of the forest area in place. Our back yard is a 60-70 yard wide stretch of dense trees. A couple months ago my wife saw two tiny deer stick their heads out into the yard. I couldn't get my camera it time to get a photo.

I have used CIS kits on a number of Epson printers. I found that I had to deal with clogged print heads more frequently. EcoTank printers are much more reliable.

This was so much better looking than the '55s.
And the '57 in my opinion.
Nice shots.

I guess you think we shouldn't drive antique automobiles or take pictures with old cameras because they might get damaged.

I was born in 1941. There was Little League, I wanted to play, but my parents wouldn't let me. I think it was too much of a commitment of their time. my memories of WWII were limited to standing in line and buying my own toilet paper which the Ralphs market limited the amount you could buy. We also drove from Westwood (LA) over to a farm in the San Fernando Valley to buy chickens (without ration tickets.) I often sat in front of the radio listening to Sky King while eating my dinner. I watched TV at my friends house for a long time before my parents finally bought one.
