Still more camera problems!!

After seeing my bad pictures, I was talking to Wayne and he said we have the other camera there. We bought this one a few years back. It was a great camera back then!! OK, so I found it but no manual and none of the stuff necessary to download. I searched his office and the closets and could find nothing. So he found the manual on-line and e-mailed it to me and I saw the accesory I needed to download to my lap top wrote the number down and headed to staples. The clerk looked up the part number and found nothing so I went to radio shack. I took the camera in and he said how old is this? He looked it up and couldn't find it. So I headed to Wal-Mart. They had a really nice accesory called a universal. I looked on the back and it listed Olympus D series so I thought I had solved the problem. I opened it very carefully just in case and tried and none of them would work. So, I put everything back stapled it up and got it ready to take back. Then I did what I should have done in the first place, I called Olympus. They said that camera is obsolete and we don't even carry parts for it anymore. I knew Janice was about to leave for Hobbs so I took her the taped up kit and told her I had a 40.00 credit so to grab me a digital camera for that amount( big upgrade from the 10.00 one) She found one and when Shanna picked Dom up she brought me the camera. I was so excited I could start doing pictures again. ( I am really loving this) It was in one of those blister packages that are impossible to open, and in my haste to open, the cd for the download program and manual broke. Also, I was reading the back after all this and it said must have a memory card with at least 8 GB before you can use this camera. Just my luck!! So I called Vivitar and told them about the broken cd and they will mail me a new one but it will take 1-2 weeks. I am still looking for stuff for the other camera. Maybe one day I will be taking pictures again.
