For the last 7 or 8 years I have used a Kodak DC210 digital camera that
has a whopping 1 megapixel and 2x zoom. I've wanted a new camera for the

Persia is a bit jealous of the attention I'm giving to Peaches the lovebird.

HRFL Tiger is still up to his "evil bastard cat" tricks.
DC has about 4 -5 inches of snow, according to my parents. My mum rang
