The possibility that individual PCs can produce different ( unwanted ? ) effects is very real for me. consider this situation.
Just retired my 8 year old Dell laptop. ( 8 YEARS in the tech world, like going from the Jurasic to this morning ! )......Got a new HP brand PC.
Each company wants to be different so familiar functions are in a slightly different place or different to get to...I'm living with it...
But, to the heart of the subject matter which is pictures, it took me TWO DAYS to learn how to just download pics out of the camera...I could not find which button to push OR what it was telling me.
I loaded the software program that came with the camera and that I have been using for 5 years....On a blue screen, a small Blue and white block showed up automatically and said " CHECK PICTURES TO BE COPIED " several different info blocks appeared as the process worked...
NOW when I hookup the cam for downloads...A JET BLACK SCREEN APPEARS and Automatically checks "new" pics...the only words in the screen is " IMPORT & CANCEL.."...all the rest of the needed functions are on a black screen and formatted differently...I'm living with it.
What I cant understand to this very minute is that the program wrtters put very specific commands on that disk that are as unchangeable as writing on a stone tablet. like " DISPLAY A FOUR INCH BLUE BOX 4 INCHES X 3 INCHES SQUARE WITH 6 LINES ACROSS IT AND THE WORDS xxx, xxx, xx, xxxxx INSERTED ON 4 LINES "
How the hell could my new modern up to date PC read that as " DISPLAY FULL PAGE JET BLACK SCREEN WITH 2 WORDS. !
