Silly. Don't you know you're supposed to buy a new Sony Memory Stick
Pro Duo when the old one fills up?
Some folks that live across the street from me in my Florida place asked
me what to do with their digital camera now that the memory card had
been filled up. Seems they had the camera for about a year and the card
finally got filled up. They had never printed anything but just looked
at the pictures on the camera's screen. They had also bought a digital
picture frame and someone helped them load a bunch of pics from the
camera onto the digital frame. But they really had no idea how to use
it and couldn't figure out how to change the display order. They were
quite disheartened to learn that their inexpensive digital frame had no
such intelligence. Then I left to come back to New York. I'm sure
they're still quite baffled as to what to do. Buying a computer (or
even using one) is out of the question. Some folks were much better off
with film. :-)
