Sorry Tim I'd sooner drop the matter. It was you that started to quote dates.

Just tried IE it doesn't crash it only locks up Firefox 3.6.12 .... possibly MS issued a fix, but it does try to add something to my system startup which I've blocked. I never use IE anyway.

I'll send a report to Mozilla and leave it to them to take it up with Apple if they want to. Firefox 4 is due out so it would be worth them doing something about it, although the problem seems to be at Apples end they used to barr you completely if you hadn't got iTunes.

Zoner is actually a promising piece of software, does some things such as perspective control better than PS. It used to use Adobe's converter, but looking at the website they may now have their own converter. If you can get it for 50% off it's a very good buy.

Some years since I last looked at it so I may try it again. Quite a lot used to be missing on the free version, but they seem to list that on the website. To be honest the free version used to have too much taken out of it.

If that free version of ACDSee that you have is around v3.1 it's still about the best and fastest viewer for jpegs. It was given away on some cover cd's.

Nice to know that the images can be recovered

Still suspicious and locked up Firefox today. Why won't they just sell MP3's to prospective buyers like everyone else does if it wasn't malware.

This one about iPhoto is from last week:

iPhoto 11 ate my library

Seems they don't like other people making batteries for Macs

It's well documented what a nasty piece of software this is. A lot of iPod owners won't even let it on their computers.

Just one site:

Also don't forget that Apple Quicktime phones home every time you use it which
is why a lot of people use "Quicktime Alternative"

There are loads of threads on other sites about the RF-602's very good kit and can be used to fire the camera from about 100m away.

I've got the Pentax version.... two of them. The only minor problem is the flash has a black band at 1/180th due to a timing problem. 1/125th works most of the time, but I have had a couple with black bands. 1/90th should be OK.

The Nikon version needs a small wire cutting see this thread

iTunes crashes Firefox!!

I can't believe the aloofness of Apple iTunes I mentioned earlier that they wouldn't even let me into the site because they couldn't find the iTunes virus on my PC. I just tried again to see if they still didn't like the colour of my money. This time they let me in.... the usual warning appears about the missing iTune virus, but it seems to be letting me browse.... then they Lock-UP the latest version of Firefox on XP Pro and I have to CTR-ALT-DLT to stop it

When I restart Firefox I get the following warning:




To me this is just the same as a virus attack

I've always focussed manually and used to use 6x6 cameras that had no focus aids or DOF previews. I've also focused 5x4 views cameras and enlargers manually I can see when it's in focus, but couldn't pick points where it was only partly in focus

I used to play mostly finger style, but when I used a plectrum I preferred a small thick one of quite hard plastic. I did have a stone one once but didn't like the friction between it and the strings. If I had to pick one off this page it would be like the 3.3mm Montana Agate. For strumming larger and thinner would be better.

I am amazed considering the number of people who claim that
they can't see when it's in focus wide open. I was referring
more to the optical viewfinder rather than Live View. With
the lens stopped down to say f/11 it's very difficult to
see anything
