The Apple Mac is 25 years old!

We had one of these, supplied by the Bill Payers company. It was wonderful, and the golf game was just brilliant. The kids all imitate the cry of Fore! that could be heard on it. We inevitably went to PC's later, when he changed jobs, got a laptop, and we needed an affordable computer.

Well I like it. There is lots to see, and it has a mysterious air to it. I love the little boy in the fruit bowl reaching out to the cat.
I'd love to know what the story is about.
Maybe you have the new JK Rowling in the family?

900 dollars is actually nearer 700 Euros in today's money. And Stefan's point is that you will have to pay US sales tax plus import duties and VAT and postage on top of that.
Either way it is a lot of money for it.

De Beukelaer, the Dutch/Belgian importers are promising the mythical lens at the end of February btw. They haven't actually specified a year to go with that but that's another story.

I think Coriander was making an oblique reference to events in the Us. Every one assumed he was President, but he retook the oath yesterday after fluffing his lines on the big day just to make sure .

She didn't make you re-say it all a couple of days later then? Just to be on the safe side?

Schiphol is another spotter friendly airport so I'm told.

I like 3 and 4 the best.

AS far as software goes get Photoshop Elements, it will do all you want, and more. From PSE 6 onwards the panorama stitching is amazingly good. I have been really impressed with it. You can get PSE 6 quite cheaply now, and PSE 7 is also not so expensive any more.
There is nothing wrong with stitching multiple photos provided it is done well imho.
I'd far rather do that than have an ultra wide lens.
That said I do have the Sigma 10-20 but I really don't like it for landscapes, and prefer to stitch if I have to.

Tempting, but I can't do that AND the PU GTG in May.
