Personally I don't like the white model, but I can understand why Pentax have done it. They could have introduced a couple more colours in fact. They are trying to attract the starters market, and why not have cameras in colours other than black anyway? The girlie in me would probably go for a coloured starters DSLR if I were in the market for such a thing.

Maybe they'll bring out a camouflage green K20D next!

I have both running on my machine. Sometimes AVG can't update. I just try again later, to try the next day. Often there isn't an update to update and it gets confused I think. There is no conflict between Zone Alarm and AVG.

You have to import them into the organiser on PSE 7, or alternatively open them as new files within the editor. I suggest you look for the book called Photoshop Elements 7 the Missing Manual, and/or the
Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter) by Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski, both good guides. I have them for PSE 6 and the complement each other quite well, but either one will get you started. A lot will depend on whether you like Scott Kelby's style or not. Amazon has them both plus a load of others.
Also have a look at photoshopelementsuser.com.

When I converted my licence from a British one to a Dutch one they gave me a BE licence. They gave the Bill Payer a B, although he is more likely to be towing heavy things than me. He moans about it all the time but won't take the test to get his BE.
Our eldest son also passed his test in the UK whilst studying there, and when he converted his they offered him a C1 as well, but he turned it down as he would have had to have a medical, and cuoldn't afford one at the time . He's now going for his A. Son number two is busy getting them all, having got his CE for work. He's a sound engineer btw, not a long distance lorry driver.

My main problem with my new licence is that they have put only my maiden name on it (which is what most Dutch women use), whilst everything else is in my married name. Gave a problem in May when we picked up the hire car in the US as I had reserved it, in my married name, paid for it with a CC in my married name but produced my licence with my maiden name.
One of these days I shall have to see if they will correct it for me.

I saw that - luckily I never use IE, and haven't done for years. I used to use Opera but am a Firefox convert now

I too have the Sigma. I have a good one luckily. I too use it infrequently so can't justify the extra expense of the Pentax. Plus I got my Sigma for a really good price.

It makes sense - people change a lot in 10 years -look at your old passports for proof of that!

We've had photo licences forever here in NL. First huge pink things, now the EU standard credit card sized ones. They have always only been valid for 10 years and cost more than 17.50 pounds to renew. It depends on you local council how much it costs you. Here in Soest it costs €44.00, plus €26.00 if you have lost your old one.
Young people who first get their licence are only issued one valid for 5 years, as are those people with certain chronic illnesses

It's the recommended way in PSE.
