Capturing photos/vids on the computer
« on: September 14, 2011, 06:01:39 PM »
It's humorous and it's a bit techy ... and I adore these 2 folks. I'd love to know who they are. I've found out who they are ... see post 5.

ACK!!! I thought you had found a quick, simple and free way to capture video!!! Images are a snap, of course and you don't even need a flashbulb!! smile.gif

If you ever saw my log in screen you'd recognize my strange and somewhat shrouded "puss" above my name!! I was not expecting nor did I ask for my face to be captured as my 'likeness' for all eternity when I first turned on the new machine! The result may have been a reaction by Lion at seeing it's new owner! laughhard.gif Everytime I start the Mac I make a note to fix this problem...it's definitely one item I don't want 'resumed!' getsick.gif

Someone's teenage grandchildren may be dying of embarrassment right about now. wink.gif

They are my great aunt and uncle. I bet this video going viral is really exciting for them. They really are the cutest couple.

Sadly, I think the "aunt and uncle" comments are just folks trying to get others to click on their name. wink.gif

However ... I know who they are ... Bruce and Esther Huffman from McMinnville, Oregon!!!!! Yup, just a few hours from me. LOL! Their granddaughter, Mindy, posted the video. Here's an interview with them ... totally adorable couple! The world needs more folks like them.

Somebody once said that growing old doesn't mean you have to grow up!

Now that is just plain spooky, Neil. That's what I had typed, then took it out and put in my other comment. And then there's "great minds..." but we know how that one ends, so I'll just leave well enough alone! biggrin.gif

Well, I guess their granddaughter is beyond the teenage/easily embarrassed by elder relatives age!

There are now 2.6 million hits on the YouTube video.

Caroline complains (with a smile) that I take that saying far too literally!
