Apple are turning rotten. You can only officially use an iPhone with their approved provider. (I know you can get around that -my son has)
You can only use aps on that iPhone written using their software, and approved by them.
You can only connect expensive Apple accessories to your iPad since there is no USB port on it.

Shades of megalomania going on here, rivaling anything Microsoft came up with.

The iPod is when it all starting going wrong at Apple imho.

Welcome to the forum. I love the IOW!

Martin according to the Sigma Site it is OS and HSM in Pentax fir nowadays.

drtrev, if it is an OS lens don't use both the lens system and the camera system. One or the other - you decide which you prefer, but not both at the same time .

Several things I'm tempted by, but given the dire state of the Euro now, and the postage I shall have to give them (K-7, grip, Ds, TC) a miss.

I hope they all go to good forum homes

Had a flight on one of those once - Airbus in Hamburg to Hamburg main airport.

There is one on permanent display at Airbus Toulouse.
This super guppy is in Tucson at an aerospace museum next door to the aircraft graveyard. Can't remember the name offhand. It was a pretty feeble museum though. The plane was used by Nasa.

and crossing on the pedestrian section is not OK if you then get knocked over - it's partly your fault.
The law is a bit different here with this matter because pedestrian and bicycles are "protected" in traffic, the one driving the car is always wrong even if someone jumps infront of your car.
Not true Stefan - if the person is an adult then they can be found liable and may have to pay for damage they caused. More usually though in such a case the driver pays their damage and the cyclist/pedestrian pays theirs.
Many cyclists believe they are above the law and everything will be the drivers fault, and behave accordingly. They forget that they are vulnerable and can be deemed liable in certain cases. They especially forget that it hurts to have an argument with a car.

Of course it is hard for the driver to prove it but with reliable witnesses they can. An adult cyclist who is, say, hit while crossing on red is guilty and will be fined, and have to pay up for at least their own costs.

Children, and teenagers (who are the worst!!! :wink are always protected. I have a big secondary school around the corner and the road is a nightmare there twice a day.

The weather is matching my mood today, miserable . It is cold and very wet.
What happened to spring?

Long weekend ahead. Husband off tomorrow and Friday. Then he goes to France on business Monday - leaving at 5 am. He's driving so no danger of him getting stuck due to ash.

He gets back Thursday and we go to France on holiday on the Saturday .

I just hope the weather there perks up a bit between now and then. I can't see us using the swimming pool much.
