Subject: [OM] Dumb as dirt, smart like a fox
Dumb: I've already managed to lose the lens cap for the 50/2 DZ macro.
Smart: When I ordered the lens, I also ordered a spare lens cap.
Dumb: I just bought a 20gb card reader/flash-HD. I stuck the CD it came
with in the computer to install the driver. There was no XP choice,
just Windows 98, 2000, or ME. Eenie, meenie, minee, moe, and I picked
2000. After installing it and restarting the computer, I got the blue
screen of death.
Smart: I've learned to always set a restore point before installing new
software. While using the "way back machine" to put the computer back
to 10 minutes earlier, it dawned on me that I don't need to install no
stinking driver with XP. Once we went back the 10 minutes, the thing
"plugged and played" perfectly.
Dumb: I took the 1gb CF card out of the E-330 to see how long it would
take to download the 40 or so RAW files thereon. The device recognized
the card, but when I pushed the button to download, nothing happened. I
fumed and cussed and threatned to throw it across the room.
Half smart: After calming down and putting the thing aside to deal with
later, I remembered that I had downloaded all the files last week and
erased the card. Duh and double duh!
Smart: Since I'm having this kind of day, I'm going to do nothing more
complicated than drink beer, feed myself carefully, and maybe watch TV.
Dumb: Watching daytime TV.
Walt, the moron of the day
