You need a bit of stamina to read this, and Shirley needed considerably more to transcribe it from my recording, which featured coughs, bumps, people pouring water, loud music, and often rather muffled speakers:

Re: NEX conference full transcription
Shirley must be an amazing woman! I'll tell you, in order to get me to do that you would have probably had to give me a brand new A900 + CZ 24-70mm. I don't come cheap. I think you owe her big time!David Kilpatrick wrote:You need a bit of stamina to read this, and Shirley needed considerably more to transcribe it from my recording, which featured coughs, bumps, people pouring water, loud music, and often rather muffled speakers
Shirley, thanks for all the hard work!

Re: NEX conference full transcription
Well, half way through she was cursing me. I had placed the Zoom recorder facing the wrong way, so the speakers were a bit muted, and every fart and shuffle from the journos was amplified to the max
Shirley is an extremely fast keyboarder and runs commentaries on popular TV programs, which she types in real-time as they are shown, and a large number of people follow these. She has been invited to go to the official 'Coach Trip' reunion party, because the producers and participants know she has been the most comprehensive summary writer, but we are away abroad on the date so she can't.
So far this has not been 'monetized' but she's aiming for that - she has a better reputation than many of the national newspaper TV commentary official blogs.

Tom: The Dickens attribution troubled me, so I googled "greater love hath no . . . ." It's from the King James version, John, ch. 15. v. 13: "greater love hath no man . . . ."
Of course Shirley is to be thanked profusely by all for persevering to give us this--as ever.
Now please clue me in as to where Dickens utilized this Biblical phrase. I haven't read Dickens in many a year, and need to.

Well, I have to admit that my memory has tricked me,. My only defense is that it is over 50 years since I read "A Tale of Two Cities". I managed to confuse "It is a far, far better thing I do . . ." with the biblical quotation - and did not realize that I had done so until you remarked that "Greater love . . ." comes from the Bible, at which time I went "Duh . . ".
I think that the basic sentiment is very similar, but the source and the actual words are not.

Re: NEX conference full transcription
Thanks a lot to Shirley. It needs a lot of patience.
May I suggest an "encore" for the A7xx launch?

Ah, no need for embarrassment--otherwise we'd all be walking arounf embarassed all the time! What counted was the sentiment.
