So, an older relative of mine is having a problem with her kitchen tile (small chips on edges). She needs to send pictures of the problem to manufacturer and asks me to take the pictures with my digital camera when I come over next.
Whats wrong with *your* camera? (The one she has owned for a couple years and have taken hundreds of pictures with...)
It's not charged., she says. (I was going to her house the next evening...)
Anyway, the next evening, I take the pictures (with my camera), but she says she has to contact the manufacturer to get the information to send the pictures.
She calls the next night with the contact information...
A fax number.
I tell her to get an e-mail address because faxed pictures, which will be black and white when they arrive, will do them (or her) no good.
So she calls me the next morning while I am driving to work.
I have the e-mail address. Call me when you are in the office and I can give it to you.
I say, E-mail it to me. (From the computer in your house that is always on, I think.)
Im not on the computer right now. (Does it take an act of congress to get on the computer?!? Does she have to psych herself up to get on the computer?!?)
I tell her I do not have the pictures with me anyway (They are still on the camera which is at my house).
So she says,
OK, good. I will call you tonight with the address.

So, apparently 24 hours is not enough time to charge her camera and ~10 hours is not enough time to get on the computer.
