Because MS released a business OS (NT) for home use
with all it's associated security problems instead of
continuing the development of W98SE

If you think collecting lenses is bad, there was someone on
TV last night who collected...... Door Knobs
He had thousands of them covering several rooms on wall panels and
chests..... one was worth £5,000 He was the President of the
American Door Knob Collectors Society

Edit: Not sure if this is the site linkor if the photos were
taken with Pentax cameras

No problems with Firefox, but I am running Adblock plus
and quite a large HOSTS file.

Even if there aren't new models, Ricoh will be keen
to rebrand all the existing stuff and remove all Hoya
references. It's probably a condition of the sale as well.

Just checked the PC and Mac files at the link you gave and
the internal files are identical.

I also checked against one I DL'd on the 14/7/11 and that's
the same so the file seems correct.

The Zip file can be used on a Mac or PC. It's probably just
the self-extracting EXE that won't work on a Mac.

If you have the facilities it's always worth checking
the file you copy to the SD Card is identical to the one
on your PC after the copy.

Hi Longboarder I hope you don't take my posts the wrong way. I was trying to give a bit of more general advice to other people who decide to sell stuff on here or on ebay. Your original post looked genuine enough to me, but I wasn't interested in this lens and I was merely pointing out that had you posted photos you would have had your hand snatched off

Whoever put the 2nd bid on that lens must have had a bit of a shock it jumped from £300+ to £700 in one bid I've mentioned before on here that isn't the way to bid on ebay

Your keyboard seems to be infected!

Quote: "But obviously you permit people to enter to gain access to your front door to deliver mail etc."
I think you'll find that you can't stop them by law? You often see signs telling them they can't, but the signs aren't legal.

All three examples given above confirm that the OP made a bad impression by not including photos It is not the responsibility of the customer to request photos. How many times have you seen someone request photos on ebay?..... they just ignore the seller

More likely never sold because the post didn't contain any photographs of the lens

Just like this Asahi Pentax 500mm f4.5 Lens link from a dealer (should know better) which didn't get any bids and started at a cheap £300 purely because no picture included.
