The free version of Kindle software for PCs that you can download from Amazon allows keyword searches. This could be a workable compromise.

They've got some interesting bags here link. I use one of the smaller side packs when I take my netbook out and about. Not sure if they make you look like a tramp or a terrorist, though.

Just out of interest, does anyone know why and when the powers that be decided to call an oblique a "slash"? Are these the same people who ban us from using a space in our email addresses or website name, when it's a standard ascii character? Line these dim-wits up and shoot them.

The image quality from my preferred P&S, a Samsung NV5, is top notch. Most of the reviews I've read say it's "average" or "disappointing". Either they're blind or I am. So much for reviews. Mind you, they agree the build quality is stunning, so they're not entirely fools.

Unbelievably, the Shell oil company moved to Vista -- just as 7 was being introduced. They spent a lot of time tinkering with it first, but I'd love to be a fly on the wall in their IT department(s).

I had the same issue, but on a smaller scale. The photography tutor at the local art school said he'd be happy to take them off my hands -- if I delivered them. They're still sitting down at the front door while I work out how much weight my Kia Clarus can carry.

I've had a 250 for a few months and can't see any problems with the quality -- it'll probably outlast me. I thought the Jessop's price (£59 or so, IIRC, when I bought mine) was a good deal, so I wouldn't hesitate at £53.50. There's plenty of room for a camera, a bunch of lenses and lots of other stuff.

Strong portait. She's also a little short of eyelashes on her left (our right) eye. I'd stick in a couple more to balance it up a bit.

Newspaper editors don't generally have the time or inclination to see photographers. I'd be inclined to call the picture editor of the Daily Echo or wherever and get an email address to send a couple of shots you think might interest them. It's probably your best approach.

Good luck

Regarding slides I always thought they captured a lot less dynamic range than negative film. 6EV instead of 10EV.

Sorry, what I should have said was DMax rather than dynamic range -- the scanner's ability to resolve detail in the darkest part of the slide.

The Plustek is highly regarded and I've always fancied one, but can't justify the price for the number of negs/slides I'd scan. Glad you're happy with yours, Smeggy.
