Hi Daniel what are you asking for these Macs On 21/11/2011, at 6:18 PM, Daniel Kerr wrote: Hi All As WAMUG's only Corporate Member, i thought it time to post some specials,..just in time to get ready for Christmas.

All have been fully erased and zeroed and with a clean Operating System installed with all the updates. So all ready to go! Open to offers on both. Secondly, I have a nice list of items to clear. Some of them have some rough pricing on them. Others are open to offers. Hey, I may even take a really silly offer to just to get rid of them! (I need the spare room back for more things,...lol.)

I decided to go for really compact, as we already have a Fujifilm Finepix S7000 and wanted a backup camera which fits in a pocket. I got a Pentax Optio S5N (no viewfinder) at Plaza Digital for $449, after reading a few favourable reviews. Very easy to use. 2.5 screen, 5Mp. 10MB built in memory and I added a 512MB SD card and a spare battery. The first few pics turned out well last night, all indoors with flash. Easily imported into iPhoto without camera software. Lots of happy snaps with this one. 2 things about my other camera that puzzle me. Recently I have had to take the AA batteries out of the S7000 between shoots to avoid draining them (Duracells go flat over 24hrs with camera switched off). I know digital cameras are heavy on battery power, but this seems excessive and worse recently. I have been using Duracells due to the second problem. I have had 2 chargers and new batteries (2500mAh) which seem to charge too quickly and not hold much - like 5 pics then dead. Am I not using them enough? Do they need to be conditioned in some way? If I switch the charger on and back off, the light goes back to green and they charge for another 1/2 hr or so each time.

Depends on quality I have 2 kodak digitals and they are just fine for what i want , they take a pretty good quality picture they are not overly expensive so if you break it you buy another no big deal and it wont break the bank and no stressing when the kids want to use it SO everything has it's uses no matter what On 01/08/2005, at 8:31 PM, Rick Armstrong wrote: Dear Mark, Summary Doesn't matter what you pick but pick something with a 2.5 LCD inch screen and a good lens and you will never look back at the newer models.

I am Chief Murphy Ikenna a business consultant and a close confidant of one of Nigeria's most powerful families. The wife of top government official and an oil royalist who served in the past military regime in Nigeria wishes to move out of the country the sum of US$26 MILLION (twenty six Million United States Dollars). She wishes to invest the aforementioned sum in viable businesses overseas. For obvious reasons, my client does not wish to place this fund with established financial institution in the family's name for security reasons. It is her desire that the deal be handled as quietly as possible without possibility of any leakage to the public or government. She has therefore instructed and empowered me to look for a reliable foreigner who can arrange and recieve this money in his account overseas and assist to invest the fund properly for the family. If you agree to act as a fund manager for my client and her family, I shall release the sum of US$twenty six MILLION to you if you meet my requirements. The money is available in cash in a safe trunk, and upon a favourable response from you, I shall let you know how you will receive it. Your commission shall be down payment of 10% of the total sum, and an annual 10% of the after tax returns on investment for the first five years. Thereafter, the terms shall be varied. Sir, if you are capable and willing to participate in this transaction, reach me by EMAIL soonest with enclosed private phone/fax numbers. Best regards, MURPHY IKENNA.
