Mine was a Matsushita/Panasonic slot loader which took the non-catridge DVD-RAMs. Perhaps that was why it was so rubbish!

It must have been a load of Matsushita!

Had one in an old notebook PC and it made is boot up so slowly! Don't know why the BIOS POST screen lasted so long with that drive installed. As soon as I took it out it was almost instant POST.

Used to make me laugh though as the POST would hang on MATSHITA-DVDRAM, which I thought sounded painful.

Adobe's web store generally price their products well. I've gotten my upgrades from them cheaper than ordering the box elsewhere.

Whare their pricing falls down is their CS packages where is is 1:1 USD:GBP which is silly!

I'd like to be able to buy Photoshop and Premiere. I'll have to stick with elements.

I've managed without for years just using simpler software and not had any problems.

They are massively different. One is a photograph database and development tool, the other a full fledged content creation package.

I use Lightroom for most of my work but anything that needs greater changed I used to take into Elements 2 and now Elements 9. Photoshop CS5 is so powerful a package I personally wouldn't use a great deal. Hell, I don't even use a great deal of Elements 9 and can still do wonders with it.

Welcome

Portugal is a lovely place. Good wine too, especially small local vineyards.

Great place to wander with a K-x

Only got 'copper' here

Same here, they only built this place a year ago but connected it to the old PoS copper exchange 5 miles away. Maximum speed is under 1MBit/s. Over the grass verge at the front of the house not 10m away they have Cable 100MBit/s.

No LLU available in this area either.

It is a release candidate, so not a final version. Seems good so far. DPReview have a link on their news article.

You can always look at the Metz 50 or 58, much cheaper than the 540FGZ and are P-TTL capable. Both are less powerful than the 540. in the case of the 58 though not by much.

I'm on a BT 'broadband' line so it is always that slow here.

The FA 43 f1.9 is a better lens, just much narrower FoV.
