Well my wife was sick last night and we let one of our favorite programs record to DVR. Being it was a two part series we really wanted to see the program. Sure enough near the end the DVR recording ended and we missed the very end of the show. I was as pissed off as the control freak wife
I cringe every time my kids play an online game from a source I am not familiar with. This is one of the reasons that machine is stand-alone and isolated from the rest of the network.

After a few months of research, I realized I did not have the talent in photography and the budget to purchase a digital SLR. I found a great compromise in the Panasonic DMC-FZ20. The camera was on sale from Circuit City for $527.00 and has all the features I was looking for: 5mp, F2.8, 12X optical zoom, 2 inch LCD, hot shoe for external flash, supports conversion lens, metal body, auto image stabilization, optional manual controls, and much more. While I have a long way to go in order to get the most out this camera, I can take some great shots in the auto modes and it's a camera that will grow with me as my photography skills increase. All the digital photo websites I've visited has had nothing but good things to say about the Panasonic, and after a short time with it, I'll agree that if you want a great high zoom digital camera, The Panasonic DMC-FZ20 is a winner.
