do you clean out your junk files everyday?

samafayla33 @samafayla33 (1856) • United States 26 Dec 09

i have cleaned out maybe every week. If you have a high speed connection, it's easy for your cache files to get clogged up. Do you run system cleaner or terminal to clean all your files? I do every so often. have a great day

photobug If you have the email address for this person, send him a message explaining that what he did is plagiarism. Many people don't even know what that is. They feel that if something's written on the internet, they can use it. This is similar to people downloading...

WebMann @WebMann (4731) • Canada 6 Nov 09

What about this Picture?

freezeover98 @freezeover98 (203) • United States 24 Sep 09

Taken with the same camera as my previous post (eye of the sun). This is an elderly couple walking the Riverwalk in San Antonio, TX. I added a watermark so I can keep track of it easily. I have the full unedited image as well.

photobug I love black and white photographs and I love the River Walk. I lived in San Antonio for 20 years and hope to go back soon. The only suggestion I have is if you could have take the picture when the couple was a little closer to you. The person on the right...

photobug I use Sandisk and Lexar and have been happy with both. You have to be careful with your memory cards. Of course, don't let your camera and cards near water or heat. Also, if you carry your card in your pocket, make sure you keep it in its case. If the magnetic...
