Sort of defeats the idea of homecasting where volume is needed to make it cost effective. I call that a non-productive dilemma.

Most of the posts this year were done on a new Samsung tablet with pictures taken using a mobile device but 2 of the recent posts were done on an older, borrowed, windows netbook with pictures taken with a camera. There's not much in the way of editing capacity on it and I've been having trouble with the new Google pics editor so some of these pictures were unedited and are probably bigger than they need to be. <br /><br />I'll keep that in mind.<br />Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-62654967361986364792014-03-27T04:42:15.609-03:002014-03-27T04:42:15.609-03:00I didn't comment on the previous post, as it s...I didn't comment on the previous post, as it sounded like good news but I couldn't quite work out what the intention was, but now I see and it looks great.
