With both cameras having a bug in the software, I send them to technical support to get them fixed.
Both Cameras received a bug from a cheap memory card that I curiously tried. Bad mistake. I couldn't reinstall firmware on the cameras; couldn't format any of my cards due to the fact the cameras were reading them as Card Write Protected; not even formatting the cards on the computer solved the problem.
But yes, to Illinois will go the Powershot, and the Rebel will go to Virginia. And I won't have these cameras for a long little while.
Thank you to the Canon DSLR Group who tried to help me through my problems. You were more help then anyone else could of been.

I send them tomorrow
On Friday (Jan. 1), we called Time Warner Cable to cancel the TV part of our subscription. They convinced us to keep TV by (1) doubling our internet speed, (2) lowering the overall price, and (3) offering to send a new cable box and a new internet modem.
The tech told my wife on the phone, after looking at our account, that our current box was "really old". "They don't even make those anymore", he said.
So, a few days later, we got the new box. Not only was the appearance identical, but the model number (4250HDC) was the same too. My wife noticed the manufacture date was nearly the same. Both boxes were manufactured in 2007, two years before we even subscribed to cable in the first place. Our old box was made in May 2007, while the new one was built five months later.
We called to ask about this before installing it, thinking it might have been a mistake. The person we talked to this time assured us that the new box was "much better" than the old one. So we installed it and activated it. Exactly the same, as far as we can tell.
Today I helped out Joanne who lives next door to the library. We were trying to figure out why her email had stopped working since the last time I was by last week. Uh oh time, right? Turns out that it wasn't some complicated SMTP problem, but Hotmail who had changed their interface slightly. The new look and feel doesn't work with Joanne's old browser. Joanne has dial-up on her only phone line and so can't easily download a new version of Internet Explorer and why would she anyhow?
I came over with Firefox on my USB drive and installed it, imported her old bookmarks and gave her a bit of a test drive of how it worked. I showed her how "favorites" are now called bookmarks, how tabbed browsing works, and the joy of pop-up blocking and ad-blocking which makes Hotmail almost useable. I gave her a little pep talk about how it might be worth it to get broadband just because her and her husband could use their computers at the same time, but she said he mostly plays Solitaire on it anyhow. They go away for three months every winter, so paying through the nose for cable broadband when they're not here sort of rankles and with dial-up they have internet access from Florida as well as up here for one lowish price.
Even though I nominally get paid by RTCC to do this work, Joanne slipped me a $20 on my way out and said I should treat myself to lunch up the road.

This is what CEO failure looks like.
And this CEO handled it in the absolute worst possible way. On top of refusing opportunities to keep base operations in place, refusing to listen to inside ideas on how to approach ongoing problems, and acting, well, like a responsible CEO, the dude tucked his tail between his legs and RAN. Literally.
He decided that the best way to close the company was to not tell anyone. He didn't tell us; we all learned about it from one another as we came in that day. He didn't tell building management and stiffed them on back rent. He didn't tell the customer base (which, in turn, leaves the customers' customers in the lurch as well). He didn't tell the board of directors or anyone that had taken a financial risk in investing. He didn't tell any of the partner record labels who were, come to find out, owed royalty payments for some time.
For a chief executive officer, he sure is a coward.

"Zoom V.34XE FaxModem named price/performance leader by PC Professionell magazine.
Boston, MA, Feb. 12, 1996 - The Zoom FaxModem V.34XE has been chosen as the price/performance leader by PC Professionell magazine in a comparison of 14 competing V.34 external faxmodems selling in Germany. The award was announced in the February 1996 issue of PC Professionell, a leading German monthly computer trade magazine published by Ziff Verlag GmbH, a subsidiary of Ziff-Davis Publishing Company.
In its review, PC Professionell commented: "The V.34XE FaxModem, a first-time participant, skyrocketed to the front of the pack." The review concluded that the V.34XE's high connectivity and throughput performance, extended status reporting lights, and reasonable cost, plus Zoom's service and 7-year warranty "left the competition behind." "
A nice example of an 'early' modem thats had minimal use. Comes boxed with all cables / connectors, user manual and software you'll need.
