Don beat me to the 35mm macro suggestion. I know Pentaxke is very happy with his. He waited a long time for it to be delivered, by I suspect it hasn't been off the camera since!

Adobe are generally useless, though I've had no problems installing their stuff. True I use Elements not CS but once I finally got the software installing it was abreeze. getting my hands onit was another story.
I first bought PSE4 and opted for the download. They never gave me the key to download it, so we mailed and phoned and mailed and phoned and eventually a copy arrived via UPS. The next day FedEx arrived with another copy!
We sent a mail off, but they never replied.

When I wanted to update to PSE 6 it was cheaper to buy the whole thing from a shop than to pay for the upgrade from the Adobe site. Not that I would have risked another downloading fiasco.

I wish you luck with installing it, and hope you don't need the helpdesk.

Have a search on the forum for hotshots4u2c - his photos are mostly taken with one I believe. He seems very happy with it.

But exactly how many times have Holland won? (Answer - only once)

How many times have Holland won the World Cup? (A - never)

How many times have Holland lost to the Germans in major competitions? (A - even more times than England have)

Not laughing now are we

But at least the Dutch have got through to major competitions to lose to the Germans

Don't forget I'm (half) English btw Other half is Welsh so it's no wonder I'm not much of a football fan is it?

I have the impression you know more about the game than the former English referee who stated otherwise, and some so called Belgium tv commentators.
But hey, you live in Holland ,don't you
The Uefa head ref stated that this was the rule and the Swede ref was quite right in his judgement. Even the Beeb had to concede it was a legal goal.

TBH I was rather hoping that the fact we're not in it would have limited the TV coverage, but alas it seems we have to watch every game anyway. One more reason not to have a TV
You should live in Belgium. A footie free zone. Or even the Netherlands. Only one channel here has wall to wall football, plenty of others to choose from to avoid it. Luckily we have two TVs so I can watch the assorted British/American crime series they are offering as an alternative to footie most nights.

It was remarkably quiet here during the match - normally I sit in the garden if it's fine wile bill payer sits inside, and I can tell the score from the roars and groans from all around, but last night, watching it outside only our group were cheering. Maybe my son lives in a more refined neighbourhood than we do

Youngest son has a housewarming do on Friday, hadn't realised the Dutch are playing the French when he planned it, so the telly will be on there too . Next week I escape it - Bill Payer has music so I can watch CSI instead

Martin (last and only time, i promise)
Until Friday Martin - if they beat France?
We're just back from a BBQ at my son's. Food over we settled down to watch the telly - outdoors. They put it on a table indoors right in the window, window wide open. Three out of the four enjoyed the match - me? I don't like football much so was just there as chauffeur in the end.
Still I'm glad they won.
Oh, and we have another BBQ planned for Friday with another son, even though the weather won't be so good.
