[Shotimes] rod bearings

Tue, 29 Apr 2003 01:29:59 -0400

I picked up a great little HP Digital Cam last year for like $110 after
rebates. I got 158pics on my 128mb card last weekend at the autoshow, and
for $110 I couldn't be happier. 2.1 MP, came with an 8mb card. I think it
was the HP 310 or 320. I consider it my throw away digital camera, I take it
kayaking, mountian biking, hiking, working on my car, and trying to snap
pics of the wierd lights in the sky the other night.

Gotta love www.Techbargains.com for finding great deals on stuff.

I can't believe with all that stuff around ya you haven't felt the need to
buy a digital camera yet.
