Flash Brackets.........a new dilemma ......A Rant

I have used flash brackets for over 30 yrs...I have tried dang near every type on the market and settled on the Camera rotation type as they kept the flash centered above the camera and it was much easier to get camra flipped and not worry about the flash, rather than turning camera side ways and then reorienting the flash...too time consuming.....
Now I have a dilemma....on my old brackets I had a place for a cable release to be held and of course that made firing a camera a lot easier than trying to hold the set up , focus camera and then find the shutter button and press it......NOW THE DILEMMA....Digital cameras do not have a cable release socket on the shutter button and digital releases of any sort are cumbersome when it comes to being used like this....why did the camera companies not put a simple socket on the release button for a simple straight forward cable release to connect to.....It would have made life for us photographers that love to use flash brackets a whole lot easier and simpler.....

Have a great weekend.

Mozilla Firefox Weirdness

The weirdest darn things have been happening.....I had about 10 browsing windows open ...some with as many as 65 tabs going......and all of a sudden my computer slowed down so slow and firefox kept crashing...I mean crashing 20-30 times a day....not good when trying to fil out job apps or doing an online interview for a job or just trying to answer questions sent off your website......Dell could not find it....then I decided to see how many tabs were on my main browser window...it had almost 400...then I noticed I had 2-3 times the browser windows than I should have........the dang things were multiplying like bunnies....no viruses found but that was truly weird......

I know the [people at Firefox are wondering what the crap was happening......and I have no idea....one window that should have only had 62 or 63 tabs...had 194........now i have tons of junk to sort thru and delete.......Crazy Weirdness......
