Well a 1 gig holds over a billion bytes of memory, does that help? How
big are your pictures? My computer teacher told us that a 1 gig can
hold the contents of an ordinary hard drive and then some. I'd say
that's a lot of pictures;

One problem with what your teacher told you is that hard drives come in a
wide variety of sizes, and I would consider 1 gif as "very small" by today's
standards (but it would have been "huge" only a few years ago). My desktop
computer has a 120GB hard drive and a secondary hard drive of 80GB. Even my
laptop has a 40GB hard drive, and my external hard drive that I use for
backups is still larger. Admittedly, I go overboard with computer stuff,
but that statement struck me as too "generic" considering all the variations
that are in use today.

I agree. I have friends very into movies who have terabytes.

But for a camera whose pictures will be checked fairly frequently (ie,
not going on an african safari and expecting to keep all pics on the
camera for the trpi), 1G seems plenty sufficient.

I found the chart for my camera but the counter only goes to 1999 according
to the chart something like 7000 pictures

My business server has over 3 tb I am currently waiting to upgrade I only
have a tape back up that is slow the dvd burners are currently not high
enough to record mass volume. There is products that should be released
soon instead on dual layer being only 9 gb it will soon be 40g plus

Sorry, you're right. I just looked at the specifications for my desktop
and it has 160 gig hard drive. I have so much to learn.

Matt, did you check your camera's website to see if it has a firmware
update - it may correct that problem.

Yeah I did it is an old digital camera on a 3.2 that I picked up on a black
friday sale about 33 years ago. I need to upgrade I am waiting for the new
technology to get released. By this christmas I am going to upgrade they
are up to a 8mp with 12x zoom that can make a picture that can be blow up
to 13 * 19 and be excellent quality. I went to a recent photo trade show
they had here in florida and also a recent technology show. So much stuff
is going to hit the market so it is going to flip ours out the door WOW is
all I can say I put a order in for several things and got put on a waiting
list for a few others. One way the sanyo instant rechargeable battery you
know how regular rechargeable batteries loose there charge after a year of
storage these don't less than 15% and last longer and take less time to
recharge. I put my name on the waiting list for two thins one Canon is
testing a hydrogen fuel cell to power electronics two is Fujitsu is
testing a flexible LCD screen best example would be from mission to mars
with val kilmer in it these are supposed to hit the market by the end of
this year or late next year

All I could think about was I WANT ONE OF EVERYTHING

There is a current hurricane management show in town that I visited to day.
Red Cross finally admitted that they were unprepared and some new rescue
technology was being shown there. I bought a few things to upgrade my stash
including the new NOAA radio that is digital and can plug into your compuer

sorry that should have been 3 years
damn old fart moment
