I especially like Closet Farmer's signature that states " The more we grow, the more we know". Absolutely spot on! I believe that every time we start a new grow either from cuttings or seeds, we embark on a totally new adventure. thanks for that. Too many people think that it's easy; toss some seeds in the soil and away you go. they haven't a clue as to what to expect or what to do in the event of a pathogen or insect infestation. It's like I used to see these young kids get a job as a "Carpenter"; thought they knew it all, walking around talking about all this knowledge. The experiences that come from many, many years of learning are what it's about.
I also got a microscope camera, many years ago. It is a USB 1.0 and will not work on my Lap Top (Vista Home Premium) but will work off another, older (XP) computer. I will try that M'soft download. Thank you for that lead/link. I tried to change the format t ".jpg" but it wouldn't stick. i too, am computer illiterate...
I agree that experience is priceless, and some things can't be fully understood until you do it yourself and learn from the successes and failures. Unfortunately, the internet is full of so called experts and people who quote theory without an understanding or experience to back it up. I try hard to speak only from personal experience, or with a qualifier if not.
I'm not sure if I'm computer illiterate, but I'm pretty windows illiterate, lol. Mac for me! Just easier in most respects and rarely do I need to worry about viruses. However, I'm stuck with few options for digital usb microscopes. Doh!
