Odometer Rollover

2006-01-10 04:03:53.518961+01 by meuon 0 comments

It was a big deal when I was a kid to see a car's odometer rollover at 100,000 miles back to all zero's. I saw it a few times, I even remember my Dad joking he had a new car. Now cars often last several times that. I'v destroyed 3 high end digital cameras caving or other mishaps. #4, a Sony 828 8mpix just freaked me out cause some of the pics I took today were out of order. It rolled over at image number DSC09999 and went back to DSC0001. Hmm.. they must not expect these things to last, or people to take that many pictures. Sadly, the "magic" pictures were just website product shots, nothing kewl and worthy of sharing here.
