What do you think about that title line? Is it a question about a senior retired person, or could it be about an item that a retired senior person owns? What if the title line is in reference to an item, let us say the item is a binocular that has a camera built into it. Let us assume that both neighbors were at the one neighbors Man Cave talking, during happy hour, when the one senior person brought up the subject of binoculars and watching the cheer leaders at a college basketball game. Then possibly the second senior person remember that he had a pair of binoculars which had a camera built in, and he noted that one could watch something at a distance, and take a photo at the same time.
Then imagine if you will, when this second senior person returned to his home he began a search for the binocular. After what “seemed” to be many hours of intense searching, the second senior person looked into the file cabinet drawer next to his ole desk, where he found the binocular. Photo to follow, click to be amazed.
The binocular is made by Meade. It uses two triple “A” batteries. That is the case next to it and it has a string so one can carry it around their neck.
I found the USB connector and connected it to the computer. The computer stated unknown device. I looked for updates but found nothing. I sent an email to Meade support staff and they replied. We stopped making this unit in 2006, which is 14 years ago. They stated that it would communicate with “windows XP”. Windows XP, I do have the XP CDs, but no one has it on computers anymore. They noted that smart phones made the camera on a binocular pointless.
For those readers who are not familiar with the term, “Binocular”, relating to, using, or adapted to the use of both eyes. Bi means two, ocular means vision or eyes.
