I finally got my camera off eBay!!!

I've been waiting, and searching and waiting, etc. etc. etc. to find that one auction where the camera I wanted was either listed in the wrong spot, spelled wrong or something and I finally found one! I have been waiting patiently for the past 2 days for it to end. When I went to bed last night there was 32min left to the auction and someone else bid against me up to my highest price. I figured, if it's meant to be, I'll get it.
So when I woke up this morning I looked at my email and I WON!!! Yay!!
My frugal hubby was very happy for me as it's his money I'm spending.  
Just had to share in my joy this morning as the past week has royally sucked eggs!

That's great, Melly. I know how badly you wanted that camera.
Can't wait until you start to post new pics - using your brand new camera. Enjoy!!!

Nice Mel. I wish I had one that wasn't so small that I didn't need a magnifying glass to use.

That's a nice little camera Mel!
I think Beeyul shoots with a Sony.
Now, go have fun with your new toy. Do you have any type of post processing program? I just bought the new Photoshop elements 6.0.

No, not Phototshop (hell I can't afford that program even with my daughter getting it at the student rate). Photoshop Elements~I just bought it and paid 99.99 plus tax. I've never heard of Gimp.

Wow, I am shocked and pleasantly surprised that someone uses the GIMP rather than pirate photoshop.
You can also get if from the official page.
http://www.gimp.org/
There is also a hack to make it look just like photoshop, but I have never tried it.

It means to steal Photoshop, rather than paying for it. Adobe doesn't care because that makes their software a De facto standard. It is good to see people using free alternatives.

I'm well aware of what *pirate* means. That's not the question I asked.

Most people I know with Photoshop did not buy it. There are reports of Businesses getting caught with pirated Photoshop. At $600 not just downloading it can be hard to resist.
Did that answer you question?

Nice camera, Melly. I still use an old Kodak DC3200. It's so beat up I have to hold the battery compartment closed with duct tape, but as long as it keeps working, I doubt I replace it.
Pirate Photoshop? Never. I use pirate paint shop pro, ms photo editor and paint.
I'll have to try Gimp.
