The good and bad of Sony
So I only had 11 minutes of my allotted 16GB handheld camcorder left. Time to buy a memory card. Man those things are expensive. I spent $23 for a 4 GB one. I spent the entire ride home trying to make the camcorder record onto it but to no avail. I just couldn't find the right setting on the infinite amount of menu options and garbage. Does all that crap really have to be on there? Anyway, when I got home, I tried looking for the manual, but I couldn't find it. So I went to Sony's website, entered my model number, and lo and behold, a picture of the camcorder I have is on there. Clicked on a link to the manual for it. It came up. And after about half an hour of trying to no avail, I finally got it to record footage on the memory card instead of internal memory. So in a way, I guess, Sony is bad for making it hard to navigate through five billion menu items, but good for making the website easy to navigate. So I put the card in and I have 85 minutes on it. I paid $23 for 85 minutes' worth of footage? Now you may say, "but Chris, why not delete the stuff you have on the internal memory of the camcorder?" Well, that's a great question, and the answer is in case my stupid computer dies, I still have all of it so I can reupload it on my new computer. I went to the Mac Store at the Lancaster Mall. I think the $600 iMac mini is the best thing for me to have instead of the piece of garbage Windows I have. Compaq. Their dumb logo is an upside down guy on a red line.
