JC,
It is a 100% crop, taken with my DS and Tamron SP 90mm macro lens f5.6 at 1/90 ISO 400 (hence a bit of noise). Handheld, range about 30 cms. Not the sharpest image, but I liked the way that dinner wrapped up in the silk resembeled (i think!) a pig.
Spent sunday loafing in the garden and shot 500 (!) pictures of various bugs, flowers and birds. Working my way through them. Here is another. Same lens, f9.5 1/125 ISO 200, centon FH95 flash, universal omnibounce diffuser, a bit of levels in C1, a weeny bit of sharpening in PSE, 100% crop, lens to subject is about 6" (15 cms)
Biting off more than one can chew?
Dinner is a wasp.

I've seen a few that have a CF/SD slot, so that might be handy depending on what camera you have - you won't need an additional reader.
I buy Dell for my comapny, we haven't had any major problems in 4 years, occasional extermal power supply went wrong, the occasional DVD drive breaking down (but then they get used in difficult environments - mine sites in africa - and they aren't the "toughend" types either. No batteries bursting into flame either.
If you anticiapte carrying the laptop around a lot look at the weight! Buy the biggest hard disk you can afford, and the most ram. A DVD or CD burner will be handy to backup your photos.

I've got all three but I think Mr Bailey failed to mention point 4: talent. I'm just looking for a talent donor.

I just bought the Remote Control F, via the Pentax User Club. It came direct from Pentax in Slough and was, well, a little over-packaged, IMHO
There really was nothing else in the box! No wonder the post office is now charging delivery based on size!

Isn't there an ISO warning setting somewhere in the menus? When I have a moment I'll have a look at my camera.

Found it: ISO Snstvty Wrn Dspl in the C [custom] menu - at least on my DS. Basically you set it to warn you when an ISO value is exceeded, so you may set it to say, warn if ISO is set to over 400, 800 1600 or 3200
