I hate technology. Our teevee started going dark (er), just randomly. It happened only when I was watching a dvd, so I concluded: it's the dvd player that was a good 10 years old. I bought a newer one, one that is cheaper in materials and lighter and is in all ways inferior and without the handy-dandy timer clock.
Well, now it turns out that the teevee, a new one, has an energy savings thingy on it that causes it to go darker. Stupid stupid thing, I do NOT want to have to read an entire freeking manual on a new appliance to figure out the "gotchas." And my favorite old dvd player is long gone, I can't retrieve it.
I"ve been putting off getting a new camera because I just dread having to pick up the basics of shooting photos and transferring images to my computer. I will NOT spend all day reading a manual. Point and shoot and download, that's what I want.
