You sit on the toilet looking at pictures?

I would hazard a guess that alot of single males have sat there looking at pictures. And they weren't pictures they took themselves. More likely pics taken by someone whose paycheque came from Heffner......LOL


Your camera is alot smarter than the "M" Zealots would have you believe

So you'd sit on the toilet with a laptop??

Why not? You sit there with a magazine or newspaper, what's the difference?

I also sit there staring out the window sometimes, its called old school.

Not everyone has a laptop either.

You probably are also one of those people I see in a car with 3 others, who are all talking on a cell phones at the same time.

I have looked at photos on a high def TV and think they look like crap. I am not nearly as impressed with an image on a computer screen as I am with a print of the same size.

I actually prefer a slide over a print any day of the week, but its not as convient as a print.

As I said, not everyone has a computer, contrary to popular believe and many prefer looking at a print over anything else.

20Droger, Wilt......In my day we poured in the powder, put in a silk patched ball, rammed in tight, poured powder in the frizzen, cocked, aimed and fired.

That explains the hat.

Tell me, do you remember Tearalong?

You sit on the toilet in front of a window? How charming for the passers by!

Not everyone has a laptop either.

Not everyone has a lap!

See these often. I wonder if they're talking to each other?!

Even worse, you could burn your (ahem) on the underside of some of these laptops with fast processors, when there aren't trousers to provide some insulation!

Yes, haven't yet but I was just responding to your statement and telling you how you can do it.

You can take a photo album to review anywhere, on a train, plane, automobile, bedroom, kitchen table, even the reading room, if your so inclined. Try that with digital media.
