I have learned that having a booth at a genealogy conference is expensive!
Typically, the rental of the booth space is one of the lower expenses. I have paid as little as $35 for an 8-by-10 foot... More > booth at a regional conference held in a small city. The highest price I have paid was $250.< Less
Computer prices keep dropping and dropping. You can now find desktop computers selling for less than $500. One low-priced example may be found at Wal-Mart.com. It is now cost-effective to use two or... More > mroe computers. Also, wwhen you purchase a new computer, you may wish to continue using the old one also.
Do I have room for two monitors, two keyboards, and two mice (or is that "mouses?") on my shrinking desk? Absolutely not! Could I connect the same monitor, keyboard, and mouse to whatever computer I need at any given time?< Less
I am always amazed at how fast the technology world changes. A few years ago, the only method of creating PDF (Portable Document Format) files was to pay $300 for Adobe Acrobat. Indeed, Adobe created... More > a great market for this product when it gave away the reader free of charge and then charged a high price for the matching program that creates PDF files. It reminds me of the story of Gillette's making millions by giving away razors free of charge and then making a big profit on the sale of razor blades. For several years, Adobe raked in millions of dollars as the only company to offer a program to create PDF files.
Today's PDF creation programs are often easier to use than Adobe Acrobat and yet produce equally good results. Prices range from free to a fraction of Abobe's program.< Less

JPG has become very popular in the past fifteen years and for very good reasons. Storing images in JPG format consumes much less disk space than many other file formats. That was very important some... More > years ago. However, as disk prices have plunged, the requirements for squeezing as much out of each kilobyte as possible have decreased.
As good as JPG is, we do need to keep in mind that it also has significant drawbacks. Primarily, the “advantage” of image compression is also a disadvantage.< Less
I used to love Polaroid cameras. “Your picture in sixty seconds!” That was a great concept: take a picture, and the print is available to you almost instantly. Sometimes I would quickly... More > snap two or three pictures: one for myself, and others to give to people who were in the scene. Of course, Polaroid pictures were expensive at nearly a dollar apiece.
This week I found a solution. I can now take a picture with my digital camera and make a high-quality printed photograph within minutes. I can give copies, even multiple copies of a single picture, to my friends and relatives within minutes after taking their pictures.
Best of all, the solution is rather inexpensive. The required hardware has a modest price tag, and the photo prints cost about thirty-two cents each.< Less
