  2. This is actually kinda a cool idea. It’d be kinda fun to do this, and would be very cool for a bunch of other stuff, build your own MP3 Player. Build your own Mobile Phone (ok this would suck as a phone, but be a cool project, and great to combine multiple projects into one).
    But An Extra 10 bucks, for a Cow?

    Don’t have a cow dude.

  3. Wow. A picture of a cow on my camera. And for only $10 more?

    Wasn’t this supposed to be posted yesterday?

    @No One – LOL!

    @Baldspot – No, that cow picture isn’t a joke. I would prefer to TAKE pictures with my camera, so I’d rather save that extra $10 to buy some more film.
