Returning the Sony
I never felt comfortable with the Sony. It had progress bars after taking a photo. I was never sure how long a photo would take and how long I would have to wait until I could take the next photo.

The unexpected face of a tiger caught my eye as we travelled towards Glasgow. I can not now remember where along the journey I noticed the haircut staring back at those behind its owner.
Automating SpamCop
I am not sure how effective SpamCop is. Once upon a time I regularly reported spam to the service. In return, I was occasionally rewarded with administrators saying thanks and putting an end to the source of at least some of the spam.
