Hey Marc & Jojo,

What a kick in the proverbial ass. As you know I am in England visiting my brother and my Mom (she flew in from NY) for my nephew's birthday. I logged on and saw your S.O.S. and it just so happens that I am playing, as I write this, with my new SONY Cybershot DSC-F707 digital camera complete with USB cable Big Grin

I bought it online and had it sheipped to my mom in the states so she could give it to me here at our little family reunion and save me about $1,000 off the price on the same ecaxt camera here in Spain Smiler

So, I am returnign to Madrid late on Tuesday night, around 11:00 pm and would be glad to lend you the cable for a quick upload on Wednesday morning when you head South, right?

It all depends on the time you are splitting.

I still can't believe this coincidence Big Grin

Hey, I'll trade the use of the cable for that Grape Jelly (inside joke) Red Face

Saludos,
jer to the rescue...

p.d. I will check the board a few more times from here (England) before I return on Tuesday night.

Jer!

We went to friggin�Sony Espana and they did not have it. They said it would take a week. Please lend us your cable for Welch�s Jelly! Or we can bring our laptop over to the Plaza Mayor. Either way. You can call us when you get in after 11 pm. Besides, we are jetlagged which has basically put us on Madrid time anyway. We eat sometime between 10 and 2 am, then we are up and sleep sometime by 4 am. We are not doing this on purpose.

We have an 8 am AVE train on Wed, May 29 to Sevilla from Atocha.

Please loan us the cable or come. YEAH!!!!

JoJo and Marc

Hey Jojo & Mark, ha! Great joke that going to Sony Espa�a, I could have told you that even they would have to order the cable for you. After all, you aint in Kansas anymore Big Grin

Truth is, even the multinationals are a joke in Spain when it comes to customer service

You are lucky they did not try to sell you a new camera just for the cable Eeker

There is more than the saving loads of cash reason why I had my new camera bought in the U.S.A.

Ok, my flight is at 7:30pm from London to Madrid on Tuesday and I should get in at around 10:30-11:00pm Madrid time. Will be a bit tired I guess but I can meet you and do a quick upload of the pics so you have room on that memory stick for your trip south
Big Grin

Please call me on my cellphone (you have the #) at 11:30pm and I will let you know my status (where I am in the city) and we can arrange to meet in bar near the Plaza Mayor or Sol. If I am still in the air, try at 11:45.

Saludos,
jer...

Hey Rachel, thanks for the offer, I am sure Mark & Jojo appreciate it.

One thing, is the Sony e-link cable the same as the USB cable for the cybershot cameras?

Just to be sure it is what they need.

Saludos,

Thank you, Rachel! Even though it wasn�t the right cable, we had so much fun with you last night. Had trouble leaving the building, but you already know that!

Once again, we do not know our phone number but we are here for one more night at www.atprincipe11.com Room 5C

Hey Rachel, Marc and Jojo, I am in on that Tapas trip on June 6th when Marc & Jojo get back to Madrid for their last evening here, anyone else?

Well, on the USB Cybershot topic, I met Marc & Jojo last night late as I headed back from the airport (was in England over the weekend... and YES... it rained Eeker ) and we went to Caf� Madrid at midnight where they successfully uploaded the pics to Marc's laptop and then we had the bartender take a pic of the 3 of us (soon to be posted here when Marc sends it to me).

Freakiest thing happened right after that, Marc's camera went totally dead (must have been my ugly mug Red Face ) and would not turn on agian. Hope it was just the battery and you guys got it working again & had an AMAZING time in the south Big Grin

Saludos,
jer...

p.d tanx for the big jar of grape jelly, I shall never forget you Smiler

Hi Jer and Rachel

We had so much fun meeting you guys. You know where we�re staying our last afternoon/night in Madrid.

We are really sad that you broke our camera. Waah! It hasn�t done anything since. We�ll see what happens when we get back to Sony America in the States. Remember we told you about Sony Espana in Madrid? Ha ha ha.

We�re staying at the same place if you want to leave us a message. We may try to do some last minute shopping when we get in and hopefully we�ll get to see you for a quick bite before we leave.

Rachel, I hope you don�t have to spend an hour parking your car every night! We really had a great time meeting you and it was very nice of you to try to help us. We enjoyed your company and almost stayed longer since we couldn�t figure out how to get out of the building.

Jer, thanks for coming straight from the airport with the USB cable. We hope to see you again when we get back.
