Hang on - I thought dutch courage was gin ---- or did you have a case of that as well

Stefan

I don't like PCs but I'm sure that if I had to use one I'd get used to it .

So there's no difference for you .

But please for all our sanities [ if there is such a word ] please don't keep dithering until February

These are really lovely - the sort of thing I'd like to be able to do in the future

I dunno - I don't think I've ever eaten Goat or kid .

Now pork yes lots of times even to sucking pig - but frankly that was not as nice as I expected .

Well , I think this is where folks ideas vary .

I've heard of folk losing a card full of pics - fortunately after they were downloaded - but this could be a disaster .

Now I'm using good cards [ which should help ]

I still have all my pics for the previous College course saved on the pooter and an external Hard Drive - and as I said I was surprised how much space they took up.

I'm slowly changing things now - I've bought a 500GB external which will be dedicated to my Photos .

The reorganisation is going to take some time to get it right. After all no storage system is infallible and technology advances all the time .

My card stock now will be 2 8GB cards dedicated to the K-x and 2 4GB cards dedicated to the Optio. All pics are downloaded ASAP , but holidays are a problem - I'm a solo traveller with messed up elbows so my capacity to carry things is much reduced . As a result of this year's trip I will really have to consider whether I do travel with a computer or not.

bearing in mind that we have recently had threads on do-it-yourself I thought this one might be of interest

Me coward and will not attempt

well - I've been and gone and done it .

Bitten the bullet I mean

Have ordered up two 8GB Lexar Pros 133 write speed from 7day shop.

Once these arrive they will be used solely in the K-x - I'll need them once I go to shooting in RAW.

My present 4GB cards will be used in the Optio

Why the Lexars when I could have got something cheaper - well my first one has given no problems at all . The K-x was supplied with a Lexar Card and if that was good enough for Adorama to include - then it's good enough for me

I would have considered Sandisk quite happily , but I've heard they have been having problems with not-very-good-clones recently and I don't want those sort of problems-thank-you-very-much.

Kingston - should be OK but why change brands when you know that something works well ?

Yeah - I noticed that one too

But I could have some fun tonight

We have a Community Council Meeting and every so often they have an 'event' of some form in a local Park and of course everyone and their friends take along cameras to shoot pics of it and there are kiddies [ little ones I mean ] running around

I think folk should be made aware that SLC doesn't want piccies taken in their parks

ISO - thanks for the link to Picstop - they have some Lexar 4GB Class 6 cards which should do me nicely I'd better get on and buy them whilst the going is good
