Fresh prints
Mon Aug 22, 2005 20:08 (UTC -5)I didn’t think my digital camera was very good for making regular-sized photo prints, even though I had seen a few that we had once gotten printed. But yesterday my dad went to Costco‘s web site to upload photos from our June vacation (better late than never, right?). Besides the fact that it took about 30 minutes to upload a batch 12 photos (they’re about 1.5 MB each, after all), having your photos developed (well, printed) this way is kinda neat. And now an excuse to use unordered lists.
Pros of having photos printed at a drug/warehouse store:
- Can place them side-by-side in albums with your film photos
- Paper prints less likely to be deleted than digital files
- Could be cheaper than printing them yourself
And the cons:
- Standard digital pictures don’t fit on standard photo paper; they have to be cropped
- If the pictures are too good, they’ll think they were done by a professional and will refuse to print them for you and probably call Homeland Security or the cops for copyright infringement
- They will see your pictures, so you might want to print that “special” photo set at home
Up next, a very special Ask Jordon.
GlennfB1@AOL.com: Are you aware that ALL present models of APPLE computers have the Dvorak keyboard layout loaded on? Join the SECOND crusade-switch to Mac computers.
Yes, and I’m quite aware that all of the past versions of Windows for at least 10 years have also had the Dvorak keyboard layout loaded on. The Second Crusade lasted from 1147 to 1149, and hopefully no one will die if they refuse to get a Mac.

My page The Dvorak Keyboard and You has a link to their site.
What do the major media companies own? Well, since they’re major, and they’re media, and they’re companies, they own a lot of things. See Who Owns What.
