Andy Collins

"Display Name" is the only thing that I cannot change in Settings. Andy

I want to know the same thing! This update replaced my actual name, Andy Collins, to this very impersonal username. I've sent two emails to ask for help in changing it, but I've not received any response at all. Andy

My big question is how does one change their username? Some of you know me as Andy Collins, but now I'm User_1182693, not a very personable name. How can I change this back to my name?

Very nice work, Ralf! Thanks for such a detailed post. I look forward to seeing some pics from it and some of the others you've restored.

Hey, Ralf! I was just thinking about you the other day, wondering what you've been up to. You're absolutely right about little room in life to spend with our beloved oldies, but I'm getting back to it. Very nice to see you!

Very cool shots!

Nice outfit, Rick. This was my very first SLR, and it holds a very special place in my heart. I absolutely love this camera! It's quiet, and the compact size makes it a joy to carry with you. I also like that it goes up to 1/2000s, which many cameras did not do. One of my favorites! I can't wait to see what you do with it!

Jochen, don't be embarrassed! The first camera I actually bought with my own money was also a Kodak Disc camera. It was a fun gadget to play with, but the pictures were truly awful! The first camera I actually had was a Kodak X-15 Instamatic that my mom got me for my 13th birthday way before the disc camera. I took that one on many family vacations. Many years later, my now-brother-in-law gave me his Pentax ME Super to use (and never wanted it back!), which was my first real foray into 35mm SLR photography. The next camera that I bought with my own money was an Olympus InfinityZoom 90, which went everywhere with me and allowed me to take some great pictures. I still have all of the aforementioned cameras except for the disc camera. I found one at a consignment shop though for $1.00 which I bought to remind me that when I get frustrated with my gear, it could certainly be worse!

SP!!! Glad to see you posting again! I've missed your posts! Praying for good health for you!

The first camera that I owned was my trusty Kodak X-15 Instamatic camera, from which I still have some wonderful prints. The camera that I started to get really 'serious' with was an Olympus InfinityZoom 230 that I took everywhere. The first SLR that I had was a Pentax ME Super, but the camera that got me completely hooked into photography was the Canon EOS A2, a really incredible camera at the time.

The worst camera I ever had was a Kodak Disc camera. It seemed like a cool gadget when I bought it and initially it was fun to mess around with, but it was noisy and the pictures were horrible.
