The BIG profit is there to strongly promote Macs. IBM more or less gave away all the rights to the PC years ago, so there isn't just one manufacturer and profit is almost non-existant.

A lot of people like to waste time and money

Aren't they all using Intel code anyway at the end of the line.

I would like to see another main alternative to Windows which lost direction years ago.

How much better (+cheaper) is a PC than a Mac for Photoshop

Not much sense wasting money on an expensive graphics card either....

Generally for Photoshop/Lightroom Intel are faster than AMD and sometimes cheaper

Warning for anyone using 32bit Windows the RAM Limit is usually 4GB

Even 64bit Home Basic 7 can't go beyond 8GB

I would have thought Mac hware was similar to PC's. From Corsairs site regarding PC's

PASTE: 14) I have two Corsair Memory modules that work fine together but when I add two more modules of the matching part number, they won?t work.

Each kit of Corsair Memory is tested to run at its advertised settings in the configuration in which they are sold. If you purchase a 4GB kit (2x2GB), then we can only guarantee its performance and compatibility when using it as a single kit. To ensure the best results with more than two memory modules installed in the same system, it is best to get a kit which has been tested to run in that configuration.
While it is definitely possible that two kits would run together in the same system, there is a chance that you may need to reduce the speed of the memory due to motherboard chipset limitations when populating more than one memory module per channel on the board. If you have problems mixing sets, it is suggested to manually lower the frequency of the memory.


Also from the Corsair forum....
"Thinking about combining 2 or more sets of ram?? even the same part# is not suggested, recommended or supported. "

With a PC just adding two extra pieces of memory to the existing two is unreliable. Your supposed to sell the existing two and replace with 2 or 4 matched ones.

This works well with the Pentax 55-300mm.

The 560mm was designed in response to users moaning that they needed one Nothing to do with surveillance. A telescope design was used purely to keep costs down.

SRS have a SH Sigma 300mm f/2.8 on ebay for about £2K

Why would they bring out a 400mm f/5.6 when we already have a 420mm f/5.6 (300mm f/4 + 1.4TC) Never heard such nonsense.

If you want I can send you 400mm of used toilet roll tubes that you can slip over a 300mm f/4 + 1.4TC and a black marker to write 400mm on the side

Stop moaning and bringing down Pentax for no good reason.
