Have to agree,the free version of Malwarebytes ain`t a bad program (the purchaseable version carries a 19% vat charge apparently because it comes from German...atleast that`s what Malwarebytes said when I asked them.When you install it and first run it,it doesn`t find bogus nasties either.

On the subject of Windows,keep an eye out for the latest Xp update and take note that once installed,you can`t get rid of the new "Bing" page!!! (it does say in the explaination but guess who didn`t read it...yep,me)

If the TB HD`s are external,they aren`t going to be "C" drive.I`ve got a load of Seagate 1TB externals and they all work fine on all my pc`s as "plug and play"...and 3 of the 4 are Dell...using an Inspiron640m right now and this thing has recently had a new HD and Whinedows Xp installed.

Gwyn said....."I should know more about all these frequencies, having worked at the Radio and Space Research station, but I don't .[/quote]"

Never had an RF burn yet,but then I don`t work HF much.Tend to only use VHF/UHF here now but I remember the neighbours getting a bit worried when I turned up at hope with a couple of old AT&T parabolics that I got out of a skip,think they thought the house was going to glow...he he he

(Oh!,what did I do there?...why isn`t Gwyn`s comment in a little white box?)

Mike-P...I take my hat off to you as IMHO,them there shots look fine to me,take it you had the magic switch in the ON position...off to LCE in Bristol very very soon.

Mongoose...Yep,it`s got to be some Ornithological Inverse Proportional Focal Length Gene,along the same idea of how a pigeon finds it`s way home.

So not even one of those "tommy gun" grip things Mike?

And I`m now droolin on my keyboard!!!!!...I`ve seen the BBMF with both the Lanc and the Douglas Dak...but I`ve never seen Sally B...GRRRRRRR!!!...I`m jealous.

Yep,I remember stories going around the Ham Radio circles of someone trying to modulate a Megatron,not recommended to just anyone.Then there were stories of birds flying past Microwave Link dishes and falling to the ground,dead.

Microwaves start at 1Ghz and go up to 30Ghz (UK Radio frequency Band Plan),Mobile Phone Handsets operate on UHF although the Cell Transmitter frequencies vary depending on location and design coverage so you`re hardly likely to warm your brain up enough to serve up as a starter should Hannibal Lecter be coming round for dinner.

I`ll take note the next time I pass through Schiphol as the last time I had to remove my boots because they were steel toe capped,my belt because of the buckle and all my pockets....G*D knows what would happen now

AND...with the story running at the moment on the news about "false" passports,one wonders if anyone`s identity is safe these days let alone one`s liberty,what with memory Sticks/CDs/Laptops going missing.

As a closing thought,are SD cards safe when scanned at Airports?.

Nic

The 4GB HCSD cards in Associated Dairies are class 2...I asked the bloke at the photo counter...he`s learnt something as well now...ha ha ha.

I`ve been told that a tripod/monopod is a must...and having seen one in my local Taj Mahal Electronics superstore,I see why...and I think a years membership to a local gym wouldn`t go amiss either (titter)...it`s a monster.

However,a "pod" is fine when it comes to wildlife etc...but...when it comes to photographing the Arrows for example,what then?

Nic

I`m getting somewhat uncomfortable in the trouser area just looking at the above pictures.....blush.
