| 2009/5/4-6 [Consumer/Camera] UID:52944 Activity:high | 5/4 Which Canon dSLR should I buy?
\_ The cheapest one you can get away with, and the most expensive
glass you can afford. Camera body depreciates 1/2 every 18-24
months. Plastic kit lenses depreciate at about 15-20% each

that's why I don't get Pulp Fiction. Can someone explain to me
why it's so great?

that Jobs was not so much a visionaire that Jobs claimed to be, as Jobs

don't seem to get it.
\_ You are dating the wrong women (for you) then. My sister-in-law
loves it and yet I don't find it all that funny. It's not a
gender thing.
\_ is she a nerd? does she laugh funny? is she actually decent looking?

\_ How is this movie? Did you see it?

Cloud Atlas Shrugged is a made-up name.
