Thanks Jon.

Bill, of course our computer and cameras have two users-- and we have distinct preferences in both repects. I am mostly the computer one, as far as communication, although Hardi will like the sound capabilities for his fidle music. We have not had any online sound at all, at home, since.... since we had it briefly when I first joined Mudcat.

Hardi is mostly the photo one. When he takes a photo, he wants to use all the things he has learned about 35mm to get the shot looking the way he wants. When I take one, tho, it is to make a record of a thing, or catch some people I don't see very often (like Catters) and so the portability and facility of the digital camera appeals to me a lot.

We plan to use this to do a lot of church music too-- not large runs of CDs, but a few. The CD ROM and separate CDRW were a good tip I got and I think will be a great help. No more tape duplicating and head cleaning!
