Internet access at Oshkosh?

Personally, I really don't want to drag more stuff around.

Well, I'll have the lapdog with me anyway because I need to unload my
pictures every night, and my iPod is too old to use that Belkin device
that allows you to unload a CF card to the iPod. So while I've got it, I
might as well get some use out of it.

We used to drag our laptop to OSH, until we found a service on the field
(run by the aerobatic or classics guys -- I forget now, although I could
walk your right to their building) that will transfer your pictures onto a
CD-ROM for a nominal donation -- I think it was five bucks -- to their
cause.

It saves the hassle (and worry) of packing a laptop, *and* it helps a group
of pilots support their addiction.

Of course, san disks are so cheap now, I suppose I could just buy another
hand full of them...

512MB SD card in the new camera...oh ya baby...holds 840+ pictures at
2nd to best resolution. No need to download to the laptop. But...I'd
probably still download to the laptop as a) until I can burn pics. to a
CD, having another copy is nice and b) the laptop goes along with me
anyway for the evening/morning weather briefs wherever we end up for the
night on the way to/from OSH.

Oshkosh 2003, I was using a Kodak DCS Pro14N 14 megapixel camera.
Shooting at 14 megapixel raw + 6 megapixel jpeg (so I could show people
the unphotoshopped pictures that evening) I filled up one 1 Gb Microdrive
and partially filled up the other just about every day.

Man, that's one hell of a camera, but isn't it about a zillion times
overkill for OSH?

I mean, if you are going to publish them or print 8 by 10's, OK, but, wow,
14 raw?

I don't have the rig(I'll take it off your hands for you g), and I'm not
you, but I don't see the need.

What do you do with the pics you take? If it's not my business, just tell
me to shut up! g

Well, somebody at work offered to loan it to me, and I jumped at the
chance. I'm hoping this year I'll be able to borrow one of the newer
DSLRs, like maybe the Minolta with the built-in image stabilizer.

Hey, I had the camera, I had the microdrives, and I had a laptop to unload
them onto. So why not?

Well, unfortunately it turned out after the even that there were a couple
of spots on the CCD. But I put some of the better ones up on

I read [.doc files] with "rm". All you lose is the microsoft-specific
font selections, the macro viruses and the luser babblings.

Santa brought me a new camera after my old one finally broke, and the rest
of the family was overjoyed at having something specific to buy, so they
bought memory cards. My biggest is 1 gig. No way could I ever fill all of
my cards, now! (that is a good thing, I think )
