Hey, I have an idea. How about using the proper forum to talk about
cameras and use this form, "talkaboutboats.com", emphasis on BOATS, for
talking about boats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just want to tell everyone who published their damn pictures
"overthere", that you forced me to buy my wife a Nikon D50. I purchased
the package with 2 telephoto lens. We spent Sunday taking a walk along
the river taking pictures of our dogs, mother nature and the kids playing
in the river.

You *******s cost me over $1000, forced me to get out and walk over a
mile, and now my wife is busy looking for new accessories she needs for
her new camera.

If any of you SOB's make recommendations for things we absolutely need
for our new hobby, you will be promoted to GD SOB's.

Don't forget good quality polarizing filters for each lens, so she can
remove the glare from water and photograph the fish that you can never
seem to catch. Tiffen filters are a good choice, and quite expensive:

She will also need about $500 bucks worth of memory cards for starters.
Women don't like to delete anything.

Actually, I'd go get her an external 160GB hard drive on which to store
pictures. Not doing so would be an indication of cheapness and miserliness.

I am glad she doesn't read this NG. I purchased a 2 GB card, and have
showed her how to delete the card as soon as she downloads it into the
computer. I make a back up on a disk, and save a copy online. So she gets
one 2GB and that is it.

I purchased Photoshop because everyone told me that is the software I
needed. I saw where I could try out PaintShop for free and then for $90
upgrade the software. I found I prefer Paintshop for most pictures.

I am sure as she starts to play around with the artsy fartsy kind of pics,
she will want to use Photoshop, but damn for 1/5 the money, Corel Paintshop
is one hell of a program.

Sorry, Richard, but you are not a *******. Now if she reads this, you just
might be.

You qualify.
