For years I've used a free program called Poweroff to shut down local and Remote PC's. Just a couple of clicks and that's it.... Bye! Can also be set as a timer.

Works OK on XP should be OK on later, because Poweroff is just a command which can be typed into the RUN box.




The developer is....

Scandisk/Chkdsk has been terrible since W98. It's still a DOS based program and takes quite a lot of effort to check multiple drives/partitions. Again it's a RUN command and several programs exist to provide a GUI.

Nice One! ..... Well Done! .... I like the unusual joints on the chair as well as the shot.

I would think that was the bare minimum you would expect from a product

So am I...... Let's have a beer!

I wish they'd release XP Pro IIS XP is still the 2nd most popular OS after W7 so I'm not surprised that they are giving away 10.

According to PopPhoto they will be releasing THREE FULL FRAME CAMERAS and
TWENTY SIX MATCHING FULL FRAME LENSES!

You can also crop a TC shot. This is the 55-300 DA + Jessops 1.7x TC cropped to about half the frame from a JPG.

K-5 Handheld




The full frame

Thanks. Lucky you haven't got a K-5 IIS it would have looked worse.

800 it is then

That's showing severe jaggies Philip. Is that due to the forum software or was the original like that?

I can't find any uploaded shots wider than 800 pixels so I'll upload this one which is 1500 pixels wide and see what happens......

Edit... Later....
OK The forum software seems to resize to 800w and then 594w in Firefox. The file isn't in the Firefox Cache so it must be stored elsewhere. When I click to see the 800w it does get strored in the Firefox cache.

So 800w uploads are preferable unless your happy with the size being reduced possibly twice.
