methinks i should have investigated further before purchasing. phooey - i always do the hindsight thing and think maybe i should have gone with the cannon. i HATE it when i do that. anyway, i've yet to take a picture - maybe this weekend. Sounds like the tiny box of electronics has you intimidated. Don't let all the pages of instructions fool you. Most the stuff contained on those pages are for those who are for photographer-wanna-bees. Most of that stuff you will rarely use unless you really, really want to. There is probably a simple setting that allows you to point and shoot. And perhaps another button or something to allow you to zoom in a little. The only setting that might need adjustment would be the amount of memory you want each photo to use. I would venture to guess it is already set at some sort of mid range setting. The thing you might be most nervous about is how to connect it all to your PC. There is probably a USB cable and a CD to install. Hopefully the CD walks you right through it. If not, post your questions here and we will all chip in to offer you some answers. Give me the name of your camera and when I get a chance I'll see if they have some sort of technical support online or a FAQ. We'll have you taking pictures in no time. <g> Good luck. Don't be scared of a little ol' Minolta. You are bigger and smarter than it. -ShutterBug

thanks for the great lyrics I've been listening to the other songs this morning. Not many of the big artists out there are writing stuff that speak out against the wrongs of today. "In The Name Of God" is a song that someone like John Lennon or someone of that rebel stature would have written. I noticed his website doesn't have the lyrics posted for that song. I'm sure it will grab a lot of attention. It's anti-war and anti-religion. Give it a listen. I'm glad someone out there is writing what they feel and is not afraid. He has another song about the Isrealies and Palestinians called Shalom Salaam. Nested inside the anti-war and save-the-world themes he also left a reminder that These Be The Good Old Days... We should live in the now. --- Good Old Days - by Ziggy Marley irie days come on play let the angels fly let the devils die got to do what you can with the time at hand Ali boom mah yeah Ali boom mah yeah don't worry your mind its just the test of time in five years these be the good old days no one knows what the future holds for everything has a season its not a time for war its a time for peace tomorrow knows tomorrow woes I remember when grandpa use to say grandson these be the good old days these be the good old days now comes the moon with its starry lights and so begins the night life the tribal dance puts me in a trance as she pulls me in with her magic swing I asked of her what do we celebrate she said to me these be the good old days these be the good old days leh leh leh leh leh leh leh leh there is no future there is only now let's cherish these moments that we now know these be the good old days
