Another who only know the name, but am shocked. Thoughts are with the family.

Wonder if that counts towards the 18 months if you swop it. Plus you could get an old one with poor charge. Think I would stick with my original unless it was an emergency.

Raw will give you a chance to recover badly exposed pictures. So is a safety net. But you can't use them all, so must lose some to end up with a nice contrasty picture.

Thanks for that - I'll take a look. But if you are suggesting it is challenging, then perhaps it may be a non-starter. Being Apple based, I'm quite interested in the potential developments in the HomeKit. That's if they go down that route of course...

I've got a Dell U2713HM and it is great. There is a H (no M) version which is even better and more expensive again. But I love the 27" size. The resolution is 2560x1440 which is awesome for just about everything. I picked mine up second hand and it was well within your budget if you don't mind...

They are very good though.

I mentioned ipads. Still nothing for me really. I don't play games and have access to a computer, so apart from the potential to watch a movie on (although the atv and phone works fine for me), there is no reason to purchase one. I was cynical and have not felt the need to buy one for all those...

:) I have got four mac minis, four iphones, two ipods, two ipads, one monitor, two airport extremes, two airport express, two apple tv's along with keyboards and mice. Sounds like Jobs Arc :) So, I certainly have bought into them. I actually bought my first pair of macs in 1991, so think I...

Only messin' with you. And being a touch ironic (I hope!). This watch may just be a little more than the mighty Apple marketing machine can sell - much like selling snow to the eskimos. :)

I'll start by saying I don't like to be sold a kit. For example, my Uponor underfloor heating was mainly sourced from Ebay. I did my research and bought most of it (new) at a fraction of the price of the 'kits'. The stuff is not expensive, just heavily marked up usually. So, with that in mind...

I have two N54L microservers and use WD reds. Both run xpenology software. Been fantastic and one backs up the other. Remember, a nas is not a backup, it is online storage. You always need a backup too. One disk redundancy does not help if the unit dies or you suffer another failure during the...

What's a fanboy? There are only Apple users and those who have yet to become one.

My first smartphone was an iphone. It is a 4s and still my first. I now wouldn't be without one. I resisted having a mobile at all for many years. I had them when they were first out (Nokia 3310 or something), but then let it lapse after I worked from home. I watch movies and tv series on it at...

I was only kidding. :)

Everyone has an iphone (nearly).
