Oh the joys of PC's!!

I am glad that this topic was started, it has been very amusing to read and a warning to avoid Windows Vista at all costs.

Anybody want my SMC Pentax-A 135mm 1:2.8? Only £500 and I'll post for free.
At that price I think you should include personal delivery

I have been trying to log in to Photobucket this evening to upload an image for this week's competition but they are carrying out maintenance - very frustrating

I found the Magic Lantern Guides book on the K10D an excellent resource...............
I agree and very good value when bought from Amazon.

Since I'm also looking for a printer can I add a question please?
Do either of the above printers also offer greyscale inks for b/w printing?
Gwyn,

I tried replying earlier but some tecnical problem prevented my reply being accepted !

As others have noted the latest HP Photosmart printers use the 6 cartridge Vivera ink system.

The range includes special black photographic cartridges.

Being able to replace just the cartridge that has run out is very useful.

Can anyone recommend a good sub £100 (A4) inkjet printer. I am currently using an ageing HP 930c, but the quality leaves a lot to be desire. When printing B+W it seems to produce a slight orange peel texture, most noticable when reproducing large(ish) areas of the same tone.
I use an HP Photosmart C5180 which also uses a 6 ink cartridge system.

It has proved to be a very good buy.

The topic of this week's competition has reminded me that what I deem to be my best photographs were all taken on colour slide film and are 'stuck' in storage boxes, never seeing the light of day.

a) Should I leave them there :

b) Buy a Nikon Coolscan V once Chris @ SRS has some in stock :

c) Buy something else to do the same job :

d) Send them off to be scanned professionally :

Any advice will be gratefully received, since I know nothing about scanners other than scanning documents to send by e-mail at work.
