When you said computers, did you mean cameras?

Maybe some laser printer toner? Wipe off with a soft cloth and the only thing left is what's in the scratch.

Which has nothing to do with being out-of-level.

I missed that. Treatment by a Sharpie would convert a light splotch to a dark one. I can see where that could be preferable in some circumstances. I'd consider trying that as a last step before ...

Really it depends how bad the scratch is. Here are some suggestions from a website that I think is generally trustworthy. http://www.steves-digicams.com/knowledge-center/how-tos/troubleshooting-rep ...

Oh, good grief! Time sure flies. You're right, of course. It would have been the 1DS then. :)

You realize, of course, this thread is two years old, right? So that word, "already" seems a bit exaggerated. :)

My current camera is a Canon 5DS. It is much quieter than any of my previous Canons. Canon re-engineered the mechanism in part to make this happen. The main reason for the new engineering was to ...

I doubt it - same room in Washington DC with same acoustics. Microphone placement probably wouldn't make much difference with all the echoing. I think the big difference is that cameras are ...

I noticed in the Bush funeral that the camera shutter noises were much quieter than with the Reagan funeral. It almost sounded like machine gun fire during the Reagan funeral. I'm glad to see the ...

You are correct. I did a quick google search for rowing near school, and this was the first hit, so I don't think knowing I'm in Austin was necessary. :) P.S. Although, maybe Google has algorithms ...

Since it's been a day, I'll offer one. Should be easy, I think.

Oops. Never mind. I see I got beat. I assumed there was little chance anyone else had updated the thread after the last Maxdance post. I was wrong. :)

Would it be the Mark Hopkins Hotel in SF? Free turn if correct.

Interesting. Google thinks that's a Maybach. I disagree.

The closest I've come is Hotel de Crillon in Paris. It almost looks as if the reflection of this facade is on the revolving door on your picture. P.S. It strikes me that the term "revolving door" ...

I did notice that the black dot was oval rather than round, but that could have been for another reason. I didn't notice that the map as a whole was skewed, but I wasn't really paying much ...

I was looking around West Virginia (and surrounds), but the map clue foiled my efforts by having something other than north on top. I was looking for a lake where parkland or protected forest (or ...

"Wherefore art thou Romeo." :)

Reminds me of Lake of the Ozarks.
