An e-mail from MicroCenter advertised a very good buy on a camera which had very nice consumer reviews. When I called My Main Squeeze to ask if she'd mind if I bought it for her, she was hesitant about carrying something which might be expensive and attractive to thieves.
Knowing my finances and my reluctance to part with money, she should have known that it couldn't be very expensive. Still she was concerned because it would look new. I overcome her concern by promising to reduce the camera's appeal by sticking some duct tape on it.
She's now off to a conference with a brand new camera accessorized with a patch of duct tape. There are so many buttons, knobs, and functional areas on the camera that need to be exposed, that I could only put a 1"x2" strip of tape on one side.
