Why dontcha print?
As to the top posting, sorry guess I'm not news group savy....I prefer it to
having to scroll down looking for the reply. Anyway I was just thinking of the guy that posted over on alt.comp.periphs.dcameras that is having trouble removing the memory card from his camera and has to use a needle nose plyers. I guess either way it too difficult for some. |

A: Because it is confusing Q: Why? Among the reasons to post in sequence is it makes it easier for passive reading by people who are following, but not neccesarilly participating in a thread. Some people top post occasionally (me too), but usually avoid it as much as possible. Some people always top post. I don't understand it, but suspect ego is involved 90% of the time, esp. among those who do so in the face of all requests, convention and logic against it. We have one vehement top poster here whose possible motive is to draw more traffic to his websites by always having his message at the top of the post. Anyway I was just thinking of the guy that posted over on alt.comp.periphs.dcameras that is having trouble removing the memory card from his camera and has to use a needle nose plyers. I guess either way it too difficult for some. I'm amazed at people who purchase widgets without understanding how they fit (or don't) into the rest of a system or for that matter their day to day lives... A friend recently bought a Power Shot 75 (neat little camera) and came back from Corsica about 600 photos richer ... now she is facing the management of them all. (Some nice shots too). Cheers, Alan. -- --e-meil: there's no such thing as a FreeLunch.-- |

Yeah, I ralized that as I finished typing, but was too lazy to fix... so my example of confusion is even more confusing ;-) -- --e-meil: there's no such thing as a FreeLunch.-- |

to having to scroll down looking for the reply. Anyway I was just thinking of the guy that posted over on alt.comp.periphs.dcameras that is having trouble removing the memory card from his camera and has to use a needle nose plyers. I think generally if people have trouble doing that sort of thing, then it means they should stop biting their nails. It's a bad idea for all sorts of reasons, one of them being it makes it more difficult to remove memory cards from various devices. I know a girl who is a chronic nail chewer and I've had to remove CF cards from her pocket PC because she can't get a grip on them. Just my $0.02 worth. |

Just wait until you get old and arthritic....You won't be able to do anything without: 1: A pair of pliers and 2: A magnifying glass. and 3: A pair of scissors, and 4: A bright light. |

I often use 2 and 4, but can easily remove the SD card from my camera. In fact, if I don't watch it, it shoots out and across the room! Worse, it seems to have a life of its own at those times, trying to hide under any nearby furniture... |

Yes....The little door on mine pulls it 1/2 way out, and I can usually manage the rest of the way myself.....But there are a lot of new devices on the market that were apparently designed by the young for the young...... |
