[Imc] digital camera

[Paul Riismandel]

Right now we can get a new 2 megapixel digital camera for $300-400 at an 
on-line auction like Ubid.com -- more if we go through a normal dealer.  I 
don't know what the budget looks like right now -- the tech group is 
quickly learning that the time required to make donated computers usable is 
pretty enormous, so we're contemplating buying new computers for important 
tasks.

Also, we really need a digital camcorder.

As far as the tech group goes, these things have to be placed in a priority 
list.  If you think a digital camera is most important, perhaps you should 
make the case to the tech group and/or take it to the steering group.
