    it was my first lesson in digital photography, new to it about ten years ago, i got a cheap 3x digital zoom 1.3mp i think it was, everything blurred. I was hoping to start posting on ebay, and knew i needed photos. I took that one back, and got a 3MP with digital zoom, they assured me would take clear shots, no dice! Then i went to a 3x "Optical" zoom, bingo! You got to get some optics in those photos man, it doesn't matter how much, or how many MP ( i've learned to make a 3MB photo into a 100kb that still looks just as clear in a post ) but they've got to "start" clear, and the best tool for this is a basic optical zoom, then, practice

    Yeah this is probably the cheapest camera money can buy.....It's like a 9.99 vivitar...LOL It is easy to work with though...It doesn't even have a slot for a memory card

    did you ever see the hard drive i discovered in an old NASA contraption Mike? this is it here http://s1205.photobucket.com/albums/...0hard%20drive/ The platters are a solid 8" diameter, and i can't remember for sure what it weighs, it was either 30 or 35 pounds. I listed it on ebay a couple times, and on CL once or twice too, but i always named a good price, wasn't gonna give it away, maybe i shoulda, but it holds down a shelf quite well

    It was all scrapped long ago............this was years ago and the guy I sold most of the boards to got banned from this forum for non-payment (HE PAID ME LUCKILY)...........The boards alone from this one job paid $350......... I did end up selling some of the platters from the HD's on Ebay..........Oh well that was a nice haul....Almost 3 years ago
