"THE PHOTOGRAPHER"
Many years ago I got me a Video Camera and used it to record everything in our house for insurance purposes. It worked out so good I thought I had a brilliant idea to make a whole lot of money. I really needed some money because my oil wells were going dry and I was running out of food stamps.
So I went running all around my neighborhood offering everybody a great deal. If they would show me everything they had I would record it and sell them the tape of all their possessions. Guess what? Them dumb people didn�t even want to let me in their houses! I thought about burning their houses down to show them what a good deal they had missed out on, but fortunately decided that with my luck I probably would get lost in the dark and burn my own house down.
So then I got me a real expensive fool-proof camera thinking I might just yet become a good picture taker. Something sure was wrong with that there expensive camera, or the people who developed the film, because almost all my pictures were funny looking. And I never intended for them to be comical.
After I had maxed out my credit cards on having no-good pictures developed from that fool-proof camera I decided to give my expensive faulty camera to my daughter and get me one of those new fangled digital cameras. No sooner had I done that, my daughter started taking real good pitchers. But she wouldn�t give that camera back to me!
With my new digital camera I kept right on taking no-good pictures, but guess what? I didn�t have to pay for developing no-good film any more. After about a year of taking no-good pictures, I decided that the problem was, I needed a �better� digital camera. Well, for about a year I could put my no-good pitchers in my computer with no problem at all.
Then one day when I put the camera disk in the computer, the dumb computer said, �Please Insert Disk.� So then I decided that the CD drive was busted, bought me another one and put it in. The new CD drive had the same dumb problem: �Please Insert Disk.� Knowing for sure my new computer had gone haywire I called the manufacturer (not going to name them in order to prevent a law suit) and after spending at least two or three hours talking to somebody who needed a translator, was advised to reformat my hard disk and reinstall everything!
Fortunately, our resident chat room Guru, Ernie, said �NO, don�t do that!� So I called my friendly manufacturer rep and finally they came out and brought ANOTHER CD drive! Same problem: �Please insert disk�. Friendly rep said, �OK you have to reformat your hard drive and reinstall everything.� At that point I took my camera disk and tried it on my daughter�s laptop. Same old deal, �Please insert disk.� Tried it on two other computers and they all agreed: �Please insert disk!�
After several frustrating months and considering another computer AND another camera, I got out the instruction book for the camera and guess what? The stupid camera disk has to be �finalized� before it will be recognized by the computer! So now at last I can put my no-good pictures in the computer.
Do you think I should get a better camera?
