The Computer
After playing around on a whole bunch of 386 computers, my girlfriend and
I decided to go and purchase a real computer. What we ended up getting
was an ex-demo laptop. The specification of which is;
The DEC's Specs
|
Pentium 100 processor
|
265 mm TFT Colour screen
|
|
810 MB Hard Disk
|
Multimedia Expansion tray (w/CD & audio)
|
|
2 Type 2 PC Card slots
|
Added by us; 33.6 TDK modem, 10/100 NIC
|
|
8 MB Ram (now 40 MB)

It does have it's little quirks, much like anything else in this world,
but it has served us well. You can find more info about these computers
at DEC's site.
The Software
The Computer is operating under MS Windows
95 (love them or loath them) it is the easiest answer. The pages were created
using Netscape Communicator 4.0. It certainly did the job for a beginner
like me, though it does have a few points that seem to rub me up the wrong
way. For a download of the software go to Netscape's
site. I also used an acquisition software with the camera,
called PhotoWallet. It was an OEM shipped package with the camera. It certainly
did the job, and I would love to try the Pro version of their software.
Then again there are a lot of things that I want to do. You can find more
info about the acquisition software from NBA
Quality Systems Ltd.
The Camera
Well it was the bees knees as far as I was concerned. It was my first time
with a digital camera, and it just blew me away. Know all I have to do
is find away to get £300-£400 to buy one of my own. Though
if someone has the odd £16,000, I wouldn't mind test driving one
of the top of the range cameras.
The camera it self is nothing exceptional, by current standards. I can
certainly see were the improvements in digital camera technology are going
to come. The frame speed will go up, the battery life will go up (2 hers
on 4 AA batteries), the cost will come down, Please!.

All of the pages on this site were written with the above Digital
HiNote Ultra II. The pages were composed using Netscape Communicator 4.0.
The photos were possible with the assistance of Ralph Ehlers, and his wonderful
little Sanyo digiCAM.
