Didn't use Flickr much so this was the prompt I needed to delete the account.

Thanks for responding, I'll go and look. I like your photo, it appeals to my sense of humour.

I recently bought a Nikon P900, primarily for bird identification shots, it's fairly bulky and does exactly what I bought it for. Now I want something smaller and lighter to fits in a pocket for when I'm out hiking, I'd value some suggestions to start looking at. My 'must have' features are...

Has anyone else used the huggler.com ? I created a 100 page book of photos, no problem with the quality etc, but the actual production was VERY difficult because the huggler.com software used to create the albums seems to sort the photos in a strange way. I'm not hard to please, I just want the...

try open office, it's free so it will not cost anything to try it

Chrome is so fast I've never looked back

If you do go for the MacBook Pro don't buy it from pixmania on what looked like a really good deal, it was dead on arrival. They collected it and gave me a refund then refused to replace it. They refused to give me their address to start an action in the county court and their parent group...

sounds like exactly how I do my stuff; photos on an external HD and time machine with its own drive. Format the drive you are going to use for Time Machine for Mac, plug it in and it will appear on the desktop, open TM preferences in system prefs select disk, use the options button to tell TM...

Hmmm, capitalisation is one of my pet hangups, (as a web developer) why other developers don't use the php functions that sort all this out I just can't imagine.

learn to use the keyboard shortcuts learn the trackerpad finger movements turn on spaces (multiple desktops) get little snitch to stop 'stuff' phoning home try a bit monitor and external keyboard on it use searchlight try not to think pc - like the old ads used to say 'think different', you made...

all very sensible advice, the 'bar' to starting website development has gone up substantially over the last 5 years. Once html was all you needed, but now you really must understand CSS so you can keep content and presentation separate. Get the basics right with a text editor first - if you are...
