My issue with the Pentax's Silypix program is it is so slow to do anything compared to other editing programs. So yes, apart from the rare occasion for dealing with pixel shift I find it rather unproductive.
It's like the difference of running a program written in basic as opposed to something else written in assembly code (I'm going back to the 80's here!)

System Mechanic Pro rendered my PC unbootable. Luckily I was able to roll it back.
The issue with it is it fiddled with the registry seemingly without knowing what it's doing! In general registry cleaners are best avoided.

Oh, and as a matter of interest, what IS the plural of 'Still Life'?

It doesn't have one. You can have 'still life pictures' or similar if a plural is needed.

Still Lives?

I'm curious why the bottles have to be made of glass as not all are! I'd have a suitable entry with stoneware ones but as it is.... Oh well, can wait for another time.

It's their software right? Like this isn't a bundled offer from another company included in the package, it's actually their software.

That response from Pentax/Ricoh is pathetic.

I was under the impression it was Silkypix's?

Many new laptops don't come with CD/DVD drives is everyone that buys one silly?

Yes, if it is something you might need one day. Would one buy an Apple computer to run a Windows program? Yes both can be got round with add on hardware/software if you know what you're doing. If not, get the appropriate product for one's needs.

Sorry, but in future, if such a major, basic error appears.... I will do it again.

Please don't, just follow the competition rules.

Any idea why its died? It may be possible to just replace the mother board if that is the problem. A common fault is the power supply failing, again an easy fix. Hard disks are easily replaceable too.

Smart Vision operating division which includes both Pentax and Ricoh cameras (and lenses too ?) performed very poorly...overall sales down from £128M to £95.5M.

Two years figures cannot be looked at in isolation. That £128M figure the previous year could have been exceptionally high, which it might have been given better than expected K-1 sales when it was new. There hasn't been much (anything?) new to tempt the market lately so the drop isn't that great given that.
As you suggest, maybe something new is imminent.
