DearWebby is actually Helmut Morscher, the CEO of Webby, inc.
Originally the "Tech Support Pits" were reports of the funniest tech support incidents, but over the years the
column gradually shifted to answering tech support questions put forward by the readers of the Dear
Webby Humor Letter.
This collection of computer and web advice was started partly because readers demanded an archive, and partly
because some questions were asked again and again. Each page has a different day's Tech Support Pits column.
Have FUN!

Tech Support Pits column from Dear Webby's Humor Letter of
05/19/04: 10 Megapixe camera
Tech Support Pits:
From Lorna ===
Dear Webby,
I saw an ad for a 10 Megapixel camera for $199.99
That seems like an incredible deal. Is it a good deal
or fraud?
Lorna
Dear Lorna
Personally, I would pay maybe $10 for it, to give to an
out of favor relative as a birthday present.
I saw that spam too, and if I had to describe that no-name
brand camera, I would say "Soon to be featured at great
discounts at many yard sales."
With a tiny plastic lens like that, and faked 10 megapixels,
they call it "10.0 mega pixels interpolated quality", picture
quality will be in the $10 - $25 range.
You won't ever get a good deal fro spam.
If you want a good camera, check out reputable on-line
camera stores like for example http://beachcamera.com
or look at http://pricegrabber.com.
For the same price you can get a Canon Powershot A400
PLUS an iP3000 printer, and from from reputable stores!
Or a Canon powershot A85. Those are serious cameras
with high quality lenses and worth their money.
Have FUN!
Dear Webby
