Are we running out of ideas or are people lazy and choose not to search before they post...

Sorry, I had a bad day and needed to rant... It gets old seeing the same type of posts over and over again...

Also, how can people afford a MINIMUM $3000 watch and can't afford a basic digital camera.....

There... I feel better and will accept the subsequent ridicule...

The way I see it, if we used the search function over and over for the basic questions, then very little would actually get posted. Just sit back, have a cold one, and try not to let it get to you

Some guys are only interested in watches and not cameras. And some can't made
a pic with a $2000 camera.

It is all a part of being a growing forum!

Perhaps the reason they can't afford a decent camera is because they bought a $3000.00 watch.

I am glad you feel better.

Now go and smoke a good cigar and drink a 1/2 pint of brandy. This will change your outlook on the day.
