I took some photographs of my notebook and sent it to a curious friend… who was anticipating her brand new notebook that was the same model as mine … (friend’s name was changed to protect her innocence…)

[21:56] abc: wat camera u used to take tht pic?
[21:57] michael: ixus500
[21:57] michael: u want pic of it’s display ?

I was offering to get a couple more of snapshots of the notebook display…

[21:58] abc: sure if u can take
[21:58] abc: i can check out the quality of cam also

The pic turned out distorted, and I’m kinda lazy to take more shots… so I fabricated some “techie” excuse and save myself some work…

[21:59] michael: hmmm ,,,
[21:59] michael: cannot
[21:59] michael: the pixels and light frequency conflicted
[21:59] michael: turned out like shit
[21:59] michael: anyway … enough to give u an idea about 700m lah …
[21:59] michael: very solid

She dug my explanation.

[22:00] abc: yeah very hard to take a pct of the display on comp right
[22:00] abc: i tried before too
[22:00] abc: im using durex camera

I was bewildered. Never had I heard a Durex camera in my life…

[22:02] michael: durex ?
[22:02] michael: that’s a condom brand
[22:02] abc: pentax

I almost died laughing.
