Oh wow that was stupid

[Marko of Oz (Mark)]

Finally got some clear sky the other night and first chance to get some data with the new Neximage 5. Got a few avi's using various settings and such getting a feel for the cam.

Packed up and went to transfer the avi's to my main computer for processing and found the wifi only wanting to transmit files at < 100kb's. Well that wasn't going to work so I spent the next few hours trying to fix this file transfer bottleneck. Eventually got fed up and went to bed.

Next morning I awoke with the brainwave of reinstalling the operating system and promptly wiped the laptop, avi's and all.

And to rub salt into the wound reinstalling didn't fix the slow file transfer problem.

Eventually sorted the file transfer problem, of course, now it's overcast and rainy again.

But hey, I'm learning patience, truly

It really sucks doesn't it? Plenty of people including myself have had the head banger moment. My particular favourite is my daughter dropping a 2000$ camera. She didn't know it wouldn't bounce.
Hasn't done much since frankly. The camera I mean. Software gooblies seem to be the most frequent and the most frustrating. Especially at night, in the dark and cold, and miles away from the nearest update.
I feel your pain.
