Currently using a 7 megapixel Pentax Optio W20 waterproof camera, picked up last year for $150 clearence at Circuit City. I use a card reader and in 9 years of 4 digital cameras I've never installed those fussy camera interface cables and bloated flacidware. I continue to use JASC Paint Shop Pro 6.02 for all my photo editing needs on all 5 computers. No reason to be seduced to upgrade. This camera shoots fantasticly sharp movies underwater as well. No delicate motorized projecting lense to get banged up accidently like that damed Casio or Sony. The telephoto elements reside behind a treated glass porthole so the camera is truly a pocket portable. Did a movie of a friend's Koi pond goldfish in a swimming and feeding frenzy. Scary on a big screen. :-) Pentax has come out with Optio W series with more features but what casual snaphappy person needs a picture resolution bigger than an oversized placemat at Denny's? |

Sweet machines, Fred. Swooooooon. So nice to have vacuum sets in pristine condition but we fervant beggars can't always be chosers. Thanks for the backside pic; glad to see I have all the correct tools. Around my relatively rural parts I look for Destitute Vacuums in Need of TLC, as Pete can testify. The haul from the roaming thread has been waiting for me to pick up since June then doubled in size along the roadtrip route. Commander was found with the cart, caddy and tools a few years back. The caddy is quite amatuerishly constructed of thin yellow cotton cloth like tea towelling, almost as if a brave housewife afraid of her sewing machine made it or copied it from a patternbook. And yet the pockets and channels arrange and fit all the tools and wands up front with a wide deep pocket in back for the coiled hose with a snoggle loop for the hose handle. The curved flat chromed springs attached by the wheels tug on the bottom rod through the bag to keep it taut. Someday I would like to copy and make up a new caddy of stronger canvas. As for nothing better to do, that's right! And it's bitter rigid cold & windy out here in Canada this weekend. |

Wanted to mention, Fred, that I really like your low pile carpet choices. Especially enamoured of that rich looking Forest/Emerald Green with the brown gold (?) flecks. I need to replace all the wall to wall in the first floor rooms and have been leaning toward that green for the livingroom & piano rooms.

Nice looking Kenmores, guys. But I'm starting to wonder, am I the only one that has the one with the burgandy nose cone, handle, and trim? Seems everyone else has the ones before or after mine. Also, does anyone have a silver/gray one? I'm not sure, but I think they were the first. Charles, I think the reason they sold so well for a machine that didn't perform any better than they did was because back then, just like now, there were people who bought EVERYTHING from Sears. They just assumed that since their Coldspot refrigerator, Silvertone radio, and Homart furnace were excellent performers that a Kenmore vacuum would be, too. Used to be people had that same kind of blind loyalty with Monkey Wards too, but of course they aren't around anymore. And I also love that "prrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeen" sound the Kenmore makes when you fire it up, although it used to startle me when I was about 3 years old! Jeff |
