more pics

Um, now this is interesting. All this pic says is that i saw some horses on a road. At this point am looking for pics that actually prove that self was on a horse at that time. Um ..
Searching though pics labelled 'pic 33032, 33033, 33034 ... meh.

One of these days will "label" these things.

(meh, mumble, grumble, need a 'secretary' of some sort, sort things out ... mumble, grumble - and don't give me the shits about secretaries should be female ... males are just as capable ... mmmmble)

i do have a whole heap of 'video' files .. but have yet to discover how to transfer them from "ancient" Hi8, 'Minitape' ... et al - to something that Microsoft and/or 'Apple" can recognise .... Bleah.

 Am tempted to publish my "postal" address .. simply to see if anyone "remembers" how to write 'longhand' on 'paper' .... erk ... am tempted to find a swan, from which a decent 'quill' pen originated. Mash some 'fibres' (fibers, if an american) to make "paper" ... though import of reeds from Egypt might be expensive (they need it, their 'balance of payments' theses days  is negative; who, in their sensible senses wants to 'tour' as a tourist these days through the "Middle East"? O, deary me, nobody with white skin is safe there.

? Yer, i know, "losing the the plot" with pallid skinned peoples.Arrogant arseholes.

Hi Davoh. I don't know about Australia but I assume you'd be able to find (via internet search) services such as there are here in UK which will transfer all your old videos, in whatever format, to digital form, playable on any current computer etc.

I recently had a lot of old analog camcorder tapes transferred to mp3 files which I can now play on my computer. If it's of any use to you, here's the email of the service I used which I found on the internet:
Colin McCormick (Audio & Video Transfers):
But it's no doubt more practical to find something nearer to where you are.
Best of luck.

Natalie .. forgive me for trying to "aquaint" with Australian 'values', attitudes and "ways of life" ... buuut there are, apparently, some differences ...
Heh.
(Luv ya anyway .. heh)

Yes of course there are differences! I was just talking about technology, transferring video etc. to digital format. Of course it's not for free but I am very very very far from wealthy (just about manage!) so I suggested you might find someone who could digitise your videos files quite cheaply. That's all! I wasn't talking about values and ways of life on any continent.
