Hi All Thanks again for all the input / advice. Since I need a laptop, that is what I'll be going for. At work I'm using Macs, so feel I'll keep with them and just pay the premium for a system I'm familiar with. Only thing holding me back is the thought that prices may drop or memory will...

Don't forget to let us have a look at your efforts, John.

I live in the Darnley area. Plenty of opportunities for pix. There is the country park which leads to dams in Barrhead. You have Paisley just 15 min drive with abbey, museum and lot of photo opps in centre. Frome Darnley you are 12mins from Glasgow City Centre on train. Roukenglen Park is 5mins...

Most from Scotland, but few from much further afield. Few meetings now and then whenever someone takes the inclination to suggest a meet.

Excellent work - Congratulations !
