go ahead and laugh at me

This is not asking for help - that goes into the gadget area. I just thought it was something to laugh at.

This past Wednesday, I decided to dig out my digital camera for use today - its almost 2 years old and a dsc-n2 cybershot. I have two batteries for it. charged both batteries for about 12 hours.

Thursday afternoon, put in the battery, turned on the power and it came on but then immediately turned off. So I thought, bad charger, bad battery or bad camera, who knows.

Since I usually over charge and both batteries were left in my car which tends to get hot, maybe both batteries went bad so I went out and purchased a new battery. Charged it the required time, placed it in the camera last night and the same thing, power comes on then immediately turn off. So I thought the charger might be bad since I left it in the wall the last few times without charging.

I purchase a new charger, charged one of the batteries the required time and would you know it, it comes on then immediately turn off.

Okay, maybe the camera is bad. A little while ago, went out and purchase another camera a dsc-h10 its one that uses the same chargers and batteries. Got home, put one of the batteries thats already charged and as you can guess, no power at all. this is getting crazy, I wonder if theres such thing as bad power....

I am currently charging the battery that came with it but it sure is getting expensive...I think my next purchase will be a ski mask so I can pay for the new battery, new charger, and new camera...

Oh well, I really did not want to take any pictures today anyway....
I am now really laughing at my luck today...if I had any...
