We'll see if his generation gives a hoot about Watches Rob!

Thanks Dalip...The iphone seems to be the handiest for candid shots. Quality isn't there, but he's not much for keeping a pose ;-)

Yes - the iphone is handy - quick - and captures the moment

Have you got a decent video camera? Great to make little movies - I'm editing each birthday onto the same disc...and then he'll have a film with them all edited to music etc when he turns 18...nice to see how he changed each year in one take

I am starting to look at HD Cams Dalip. Have an old school digital SONY, but now that I am an HD snob. Any recommendations???

I am also making an excuse to get a new MacBook Pro 13" 2006 model is chugging a bit.

Thanks Eugene. We're trading off, but still getting used to the "schedule" - if you can call it that!

Congrats, Bill. Don't know how I missed this when you first posted. He arrived just before the price increase--smart kid. We'll set another place at the next GTG.
