Wow! That's a brilliant set of responses! Cheers for that peeps! Very much appreciated!! I'll have to make sure to make some decent pics so I can post them up here! On the storage side of things, I've got a couple of 4GB memory cards. Might have to see if I can pic up a couple more...

Hi all I'm off to Hong Kong on Wednesday on the way to visiting friends in Sydney for 10 days. I'm taking my (hardly used until now) 400d, any suggestions on places to visit for decent photo ops? At the moment I've only got the kit 18-55 IS lens and have been thinking about getting a wide...

there's hardly any stress plugging usb cables in, better than the likes of serial connections, that's for sure. With using a card reader, my worry would be bending or breaking the pins inside the camera with constant insertion and removal of the card. having said that, I'm sure cameras are...

Honestly can't see any reason you would damage a camera plugging it into a computer, unless you're particularly ham fisted with a usb cable. Dave

thanks for that! I'll give it a go! Dave

Hi all A friend of mine might be having my Fuji 9500 but I can't find the CD it came with. I doubt he'll want the viewer apps that were on it but, as I remember, the RAW format on this camera isn't standard so there was a converter app on the CD. I don't suppose anyone has a copy of the...

hehe, i believe it's only going to be the backend stuff involved with analysing the telemetry data that microsoft is going to be working on. It's all going on the latest version of their database platform. i'd love to see ford back in the BTCC, that would be awesome!

that's a bit bizarre... these days you'd probably get yourself shot for wandering about with something like that!!

I couple of mates of mine went over to Pattaya a little while ago and loved it. I went over to Phuket with the parents when I was younger and, what I remember of it (I was really quite young!!) it was really good! I've done a few long haul flights on my own for work and it's great! you get...

Sorry, my mistake... It's only the business models that you get local support for I think. I always get people in Glasgow, although they can be a little hard to understand sometimes :-) I've had a nightmare talking to the people on the "home" support number.. I'll change my advice slightly...

I'd second that. I've got an HTC TyTn II and use exchange push email on that and if I don't charge it overnight then it'll be dead by mid morning. Having said that, when I was abroad recently (switched off direct push for fear of massive roaming charges!) the battery lasted a couple of days on...

I used to use Debian occasionally (decision made mainly because of the package manager!) then switched over to Ubuntu as it seemed a little more modern and still has apt. However I've been using Vista since it came out and not really touched on linux on anything but a server. I've been...

I'd always recommend people go for Dell because their machines are solid and the support is top notch. But I'm a bit of a Dell fan boy... used all dell servers, desktops and laptops in my old job, Dell desktops and laptops in my current job and always had a dell laptop at home :) And, for...

1. Take more photos 2. Get a little more confidence, stop being so self-concious and hence take more photos!! 3. Learn a bit about processing pics 4. Take more photos

I've got a headache i've not opened any presents yet but considering i stopped drinking 3 hours ago, i think the hangover is setting in already.. really must get to sleep!!
