The plastic packaging on small, and medium, electronics is way over the top. It can take more than 5 minutes of cutting, hacking and prying to get through the multiple layers of stiff sharp-edged, actually meant to deter you from trying a quick slip of pocket knife and into a pocket. The last I understand.

Maybe they should print instructions on “how to open the package.”

I was already struggling my way through one, two, no three layers of this obnoxious plastic and afraid to stop so didn’t get a fully closed packaging photo. Who’d a thought?

And, no recycle marks. This crap will probably sit in the Earth long after our species is gone. Wow, what a legacy to leave.

Oh yea, I bought 250 GB portable drive to back up all my precious photos, these maybe excluded.

Rant over. I have to go wash the blood off my hands.

Flu update: Still home sick, day 5. Feeling better but still very weak. Also getting increasingly irritable from being stuck in an 8×27 foot RV when the Grand Canyon is just out of sight.
