Im typing away here on my new MacBook, freshly arrived today from Shanghai, via Anchorage and Indianapolis. A mere 3 days after it left the factory in China, I received a tracking notice on my phone from FedEx that it had been delivered and signed for by my favorite secretary. A curious student was more than happy to truck down to the office and grab it for me.

But if your old camera is beyond repair and not worth fo...
