Well if you really want to go down the rabbit hole, I could say that you need a good computer monitor to actually see if your camera pics look great. But I digress... Could never find a reason to own a computer. |

![]() Phones can take quite decent photos! Yep  ![]() Is that a 920ks? I have one that looks exactly like it but without the saddle stem. Can't beat a deluxe Milano. |

And most of the time, old stuff = fix it yourself. But, for me that is a simple chore.  |

May I just say I'd rather have 2.5 million good pixels than 40 million mediocre ones. The lens still makes a difference. And the resolution and dynamic range of digital cameras surpassed film over ten years ago. Film is still great, but for dedicated hobbyists and those who love 8 track tapes, VHS, foldable maps, and turntables. For me the lens is he critical element. 20 years ago, I purchased my first Digital Camera, a Sony with a Zeiss lens. That seemed an excellent combination of superior capabilities. It was an excellent camera and I miss it. Apparently, stolen as it disappeared from the shelf where it has been kept for all these years. I paid about $900 for it then. I saw one on Ebay for about $80 and thought about buying another. I realize there have occurred technical advances since then. Speaking of film. I still have a Canon Rangefinder 35mm camera around here someplace. |

Service providers don't extend out to me.Does your cell service provider offer Hotspot? It allows you to connect your cell phone via wifi to your computer and use the data as an internet connection. I get it for $15 a month extra with my carrier. It's pretty limited but it works for E-mail and forums just fine |

I mainly use the internet for two pipe forums and shopping so a full computer setup would be a waste for me. |

I have ALL four of those and more, you forgot Reel-Reel and Cassettes, although I do own some CD's. Also have telephones you actually Dial with your finger. But do you have BetaMax? lol |
