... and then please give this account a decent password, which you write on a piece of paper and hide somewhere along with the OS disks for the reinstall job.

so use a service that's not so well known, like 23hq.

ABP and NoScript are a stunning combo. No ads, no popups. Nice.

Those who say "Advertising pays for the web!" - yeah, well, you also steal my bandwidth, especially on a slow connection.

.. .yet another reason to use FF and NoScript and ABP.

If you don't know what they are, I suggest that you find out.

The rogueware? No, it should be able to be detected by a decent package. The bigger question is how it got there - are you up to date on Microsoft Updates?

by this logic; why are there no ID cards in the UK?

Car accident is slightly different: there is incontrovertible evidence that something has happened and it should be obvious who was involved.
Committing the crime of photography is another story. I do not see any reason, in a country which does not demand me to carry ID, to identify myself to anyone on purely "suspicion" grounds.

... and I really, really don't see why any 'tog should give a name. Besides, would it have to be real?

I would personally say for interior photography, 24-70 is fine.

I find 28 is not really wide enough.

Sorry, I'm just a tad disillusioned

Bret,

I am not sure what operating system you are using, but one advantage I found with Windows 7 is you do not have to use the install disk that comes with all that annoying bloatware. I just plug in the printer (or whatever) and the operating system goes online and finds the latest driver only and installs it. Since that feature has come about, I have cut down on the amount of useless programs on my netbook.

I have 7 on this and the D600. I will check, but I think at least some of the "info" stuff came over anyway.

nice. I would have said maybe a wider lens, but I quite like that as it is.

"inner peace" on a print.
