The thought that 78rpm records are made into coasters horrifies me. Somebody could be searching for that ultra-rare recording, only to find it's been cut up and turned into something else.

You should see me shudder when Sue starts in her deleting mode....

TN panels are not good in many ways, but not least because the image brightness varies as the position of our eyes moves. An IPS panel will be more accurate and will also have a very wide viewing angle.

That's what I call "eBay Fodder" Gwyn. Anything we really don't want we offer on eBay, just in case someone else does want it. It's a way of recycling.

Dell 2209WA - very nice and not too expensive.

Iiyama - good manufacturer, but then so are many others.

It depends upon the flat panel used - IPS is best for imaging.

I suspect those cast iron baths would be resellable for big money these days. Never throw anything away unless it's a last resort, be it an old camera, and old lens, a digital file, a box full of negatives or even a cast iron bath....

I've said it before, but shooting at least one slide film is an excellent learning tool for any photographer. You then see exactly what you've shot and all the defects in composition and exposure are laid bare.

If a photographer can get a good success rate with colour slides, then digital is no problem.

The 16-45mm is the lowest cost option that goes wider than the standard 18-55mm lens.

When you set up Photoshop it warns if the scratch disk is the same as the drive you've loaded the program on, but even if it is things will work well until we get to huge working files.

If it ever does become possible to allocate another drive (not just another partition) as the scratch disk then speed should improve.
