The fatal combination of an Internet connection and a Switch card.

Just bought a Canon PowerShot A200 (and charger). I've been contemplating such a device for a while (prompted by ladylilith), and went for this model on the advice of rbarclay and recalling that this was the model solipsistnation brought with him in August that I was so impressed with.

Here's to it arriving before the tree comes down on January 6th. Will likely lead to a revival of the photo page. I might even get around to developing and scanning the films from the last ten months ...

I'll be getting a USB CompactFlash reader for it - what brands and models are known to work with FreeBSD? (No, not Linux.) And the best prices I've seen on CompactFlash are at Crucial.

Update: Bollocks! It does not in fact have optical zoom. Will be calling first thing tomorrow morning to change the order to the A40. Which is another fifty quid, so I expect they'll be very happy with the change ...

Update: Changed, no problem. A40 should be arriving early next week. Phew!
