Bonehead, as a description for you, is not derogatory either.



Why steer the discussion along these lines? Now you are using derogatory
words and associating them with a specific individual. Let it rest,
already.

Sounds like you've got personality problems you need to resolve matey.


Beware of falling into that trap.

To quote from Ken Rockwell:

"Look at any forum on any subject from art to zebras, and you'll see many
who spend more time calling each other stupid than discussing the topic.
Many who live in these forums take more pleasure in hurling epithets than in
discussing the topic. As any high-school psychology student knows, these
guys are confirming Freud's observations that all human action is based on
making oneself feel important."

And, to anyone that suggests that the sentiments are invalid, strictly
because of who expressed them I offer no apologies.

For my photo grear, the shop down near the then new HPD cental station
wasn't bad, and I also went to the two shops on the Ft.Street mall too.

When I lived on Oahu I didn't use the wal marts there either.

There are at least two Costcos there. Much better place to shop.

No identifiable segment? Not the poor ones?

I was NOT referring to "Poor People," I was referring to the ones that had
little knowledge of photo technique, and who didn't really care about
learning.

So, you are saying that "The Great Unwashed" refers to photographers with
little knowledge of photo technique. Somehow, I doubt that is what the term
refers to.

Unless Costco has it I can get photo gear cheaper ordering from B&H and
paying the shipping then I can locally.

If you can justify the membership. Fine for family's that can buy in
bulk occasionally, but doesn't do it for a single guy who eats out a lot.

We have a Costco here and will getting everything we can there as it is
much
better then Wal-Mart. But Costco does not carrry everything that you
might need.
As an example my DVD burner went out on my computer and I needed
another one,
whereas Costco sometimes has DVD burners at this time they did not, I
went out of
my way to check at Costco before giving in and buying at Wal-Mart. You
need a USB 2 hub, Costco may or may not have it at any given time but
Wal-Mart will have it all the time.

FWIW we spend about $20 at Costco for every $1 spent at Wal-Mart, but
still we find ourselves going to Wal-Mart a fair bit, as does everyone
else in town.

Scott

Yes.....My wife and I call Wal-Mart a "$100 store", because we usually spend
less than $100 whenever we go there. We also have a Costco, but we call that
a "$300" store.....:^)

This was why I suggested that Wal-Mart was installing a public shower room
near their photographic department.....:^)
On another list, I suggested that the great unwashed masses have Thomal
Kinkaid's hanging on their walls, but we elete's hang Van Gogh's.
