And it looks like I'm done with it anyway. I had 3 old XP laptops in my closet that were gathering dust because they were too slow to do anything online, and I offered one to my friend so he could use his microscope camera gift with it. He took a few days to get back to me and just responded that he would love to have a free crappy old laptop and his camera back. So I'll be giving the camera back in the next day or so, and getting rid of a computer as well.

Any requests of something to see up close? I've pretty much run out of ideas.

a sponge
a coin
a pillow
a pillow on fire
ten pillows on fire

sorry

alt+ print screen gets the active window. I think you taught me that. I was cropping the shift prtsc shots

not macro, but zoom zoom ... from this am.

Glatt, I would like to see the difference between brown rice and the white you just showed.

tha's a cool pic classic, very cool. catching birds in flight, not just soaring, is super hard. great catch

So I keep looking for small items I can carry to it, and hope they look fascinating. Most don't. But I'll post anything that looks cool. I bet fresh veggies would be good, but our kitchen is kinda empty right now.

Also, the shutter button is on the side of the microscope, and when you press it, the whole thing vibrates a little, making stuff more blurry. I'm going to try doing a screen grab next. What keystroke combination does a screen shot of the active window? ctrl-Prnt Screen? Something like that, I think. That would eliminated the movement from the shutter button.

would this help?

usb extension cord that's a ten footer. but they're available longer. how long do you need?

Aw, he's just showing off his new fancy-ass feeders. :haha:

The long USB just puts you further from the computer you're interfacing with.

thanks V. I am loving the new feeders XOB. I'm gonna move the suet though. Every time the woodpeckers land on it, they're on the behind it from my view. I may make one that gives them something to land on comfortably and at the same time forces them to one side only so I can see them.

Nail a cat on to the back side.

Not terribly neat, but my own ...http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...6bbd863ff7.jpg

I thought it might be Ararat, or Elbruz. Somewhere round that way, anyhow.

Ararat was my first guess, but I figured I'd look at your food thread to see where you are now.
