Walmart.cal sells for $139. Cameras are basic, processor snaps quickly thru tasks, storage can go up by micro sd.
I was getting too far exclusively in Apple land. I got an iPhone 5s. It was terrific help in hospital recently. Short charger cord seems silly. I ordered a longer charger cord again from Walmart.
Dragon is fun. Kindle, Netflix, some writing will be its foci.
Keeps me amused as I recover from my kidney transplant.
More about that soon.
It goes well.
On September 13 2016 I received a donor kidney and it is wolrking well.

I am surprised by Flickr.
I am enjoying Instagram. I may shift most of my photographic attention to it.
It is one terrific camera.
my new wifi printer from HP is not only printer, scanner, copier and fax, but also a handy table top shelf
old men have a hobby : free advice, they often do not wait to be asked
My new printer installed with ease. I am impressed and pleased.
I successfully updated the laptop my sister uses as her Netflix access tool for the large Tv in the living room. It took a long time but was smooth. She also uses it for email. I have recently shown her Pinterest. She found that intriguing. I searched “Nancy Drew” (she is a collector of the books) and found a lot of interesting pins.
My password and I got separated. I only found out when I tried to reset email on a secondary device. I tried online but just chased my own tail for twenty minutes. Rogers technical support were very helpful.
A friend asked me to help with some images for an article intended for a coffee table book. So I read up once again on prep of hi-res images for printing. It is a little confusing. I am used to prep for online presentation or for images for Powerpoint slide shows that are projected for small sized audiences.
I used my scanner to copy an old engraving of 19th century logging using my Canon 4in1 printer. I photographed a photocopy of a pencil drawing of a 17th century Huron village (longhouses and palisade). I used my Nikon D7100 and Nikkor 18-140 lens mounted on a tripod.
The actual village used 64,000 poles for the palisade. These were some 40 feet tall.
I loaded the photo in Corel Paint Shop Pro x6. I adjusted the contrast and cloned out some handwritten notes. Finally I saved the edited image trying for maximum quality. I attempted to send the image to the friend. The scan made it, The photo bounced back. I tried again compressing the image for a smaller size without sacrificing too much quality. Not sure how we are going to get this finished. We still need to get them to the book publisher.
Below a further compressed version of village drawing.
I bought a new phone, iPhone 5S yesterday. We shall see but so far so good. I am now completely Apple-ized. iPad 2 Air, MacBook Pro, miniMac and now the phone.
I keep one hand in on Windows with an Acer tower PC running Windows 10.
My eyesight makes life tricky. The Kindle I bought not long ago has tiny menus. A struggle for me. Kindle runs better fdr me on my iPad2 Air.
Some accessibility features are too much. ( don’t want to give up my digital life.
I use Facebook and Flickr and blogs. I enjoy it all.
News of purchase by Microsoft for $26 billion makes my head spin. I read Linkedin has 400 million global professionals. Also an astounding number.
Perhaps my greatest barrier to getting on with technology and knowledges is my failing eyesight. My right is gone, my left is ok. But I find light grey sexy fonts on webpages hard to pick out. The young designers who continue to put identifiers?(raised letters or symbols) in black on a black background are unkind. My particular peeve are the black plastic electrical cover plates. Plugging in after sundown is uplifting. There are more old farts everyday
