So here I am, browsing through digital cameras on amazon and other sites, reading customer reviews, trying to get an idea of what's important, & so on, & so forth, because today was another of those days where I wished I had a camera ...

... and, whoa!, apparently I've been living in computer stone-age for some time now without even realising it. I've a five year old iMac that still runs on OS9. I have a zip drive, which was quite a cool thing back then.

I gather that if I buy a camera I'll need a card reader, because I won't be able to install the camera software on OS9... and I only know what a card reader is, because M.'s boyfriend recently gave me some basic information about digital cameras and stuff. I know about usb drives because my sister mentioned them in passing.

::facepalm::

When did all this happen and under what rock have I been living at that time?!



Methinks I see a new mac in the not-so-remote future

The software of the camera I mentioned in a previous comment will do for OS 8.6 / 9.X. All you need is a USB port on your computer (to plug the camera cable in it).

ah, ok. good to know... most of those i looked at seemed to require OS X.
