New toys :-)
I’ve got myself some new toys this summer: a new computer and a digital camera. I haven’t yet written about the new computer but in short, then it’s the most quiet machine I’ve ever seen. It’s a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 with 2×512 MiB PC3200 DDR RAM. The power supply and harddisk is the ones I talked about in March. The case is from Noise Control and has Magic Fleece fur on the inside. So I have a fair amount of computer power packed in a box with furs and only a single fan for the CPU. That’s a bit too good to be true, and it is for the heat cannot escape fast enough. I’ve therefore had to open the box a little to prevent my harddrive from crashing.
The digital camera is a Sony DSC-V1. You can go and read the reviews at the Digital Photo Review, the Digital Camera Resource Page og Steves Digicams. It’s a very nice camera and I’ve already taken some 450 shots with it. Most of the shots are useless and I’ll throw them away but there are a couple of nice ones in between. My only complaint about the camera is the size: it’s too deep to fix in a pocket so you have to carry it around in your hand or perhaps in a little bag. I’ll write more about it and put up some pictures when I get time.
Now, 1 year and 9 months later I’ve accumulated 4393 photos… That comes to 209 photos per month, or about 7 photos a day, every day! That’s scary!
