Remember my lament that my beloved Fuji A600 camera died? I so loved the pics from this camera that the other day when Tigerdirect.com had a refurbished version I put my fortune to good work (and by fortune, I mean the $105 I pried away from M.). I got the camera and an additional 2 yr. warranty. The minute I opened it the same glitch that had put my previous camera out of commission started all over. I called up the service line (for a passable BJ you can get hold of a live person!) and a rather grumpy customer service person (and by grumpy I mean the other trolls under the bridge thought she could use some Preparation-H) tells me, “It’s a battery issue; we recommend Duracell PowerPix batteries.” Always a good sport, I went out today and bought a set.
Have you seen stupid today? You have now! Thank goodness I hadn’t thrown away my old A600 because that was precisely the problem! Now I have two cameras!
If only you could see my “yippy” dance!
But, of course, I took my xD card out when I sent my first A600 out for service to precisioncamera.com (who wanted $120 to fix the camera which they would have been happy to do since it was still under warranty…if I hadn’t let M. hold onto the receipt…which is pretty much the same as throwing it down a rat hole in hopes that a beanstalk will shoot up…smell the fraud anyone?). I remember very carefully putting the memory card away. In fact, I put it away so carefully that now I can’t find it. Aaaarrrggghhhh!!!!!!!
Thanks to built in memory (5 pics at a time), I can still show you this…
Hmmm…me thinks it’s about time to shave someone’s fur pants… (Here’s hoping I never have to do that to my human children. I couldn’t afford the psychiatric bills for either of us.)
For extra fun, Tina is working double shifts. Thus, I am required to be on errand duty for the next week. 😦 I hate driving half the day only to stumble home and try to work in all my other activities. Most of all I fear that this is where I will fall short. Hopefully, this weekend I can find some time to check ya’ll out. So don’t do anything cool until Friday! Laters! 🙂
