[or-roots] Staying Vigilant - cameras

Hank you for a smile today.  With this now raising a 15 year old (at my age)
I'm having a lot of the SOS moments.

I was refering to the Pixals mine will not go below

1280?  By 16?? and many programs cannot use

anything over 800 by 1200 pixals.


Yeah, some company marketing duds try to make us think, like the current ad
on TV, that Bigger & Faster is Better -- not necessarily.  When you buy one
of those big mega pixel cameras, the one thing you want to check is how
small a pic will it take -- mine will go down to 640 x 480, as well as them
high pixel shots that are only good for cropping out a little section or 11x
17 prints.

Reminds me of a story --   

A C-130, a prop driven cargo plane,
was lumbering along when a cocky F-16 flashed by.   

The jet jockey decided to show  off.

The fighter jock told the  C-130 pilot, 'watch this!'
and promptly went into a  barrel roll followed by a steep climb.. 


He then finished with a sonic boom as he broke the sound barrier. 

The F-16 pilot asked the C-130  pilot what he thought of that?

The C-130  pilot said, 'That was impressive, but watch this!' 

 

The C-130 droned along for about 5 minutes and then the C-130 pilot came
back on and said:

'What  did you think of that?'

Puzzled, the F-16 pilot asked, 'What the heck did you do?'

The C-130 pilot chuckled.

'I stood up, stretched my legs,  walked  to the back,
used the facilities,  then got a cup of coffee and a  cinnamon roll.'

When you are young & foolish - speed & flash may seem a good thing! 

 

 

When you get older & smarter - 

comfort & dull is not such a bad thing!

 

Us older folks understand this one, it's called  S.O.S. 


          Slower,  Older and  Smarter....
