Yes you understand correctly. I did indeed miss this as I traveled down to London on Friday night and didn't access the forum (shame on me). It's a shame really but the rules were clearly stated outside the event :rules: so even if I feel they are harsh I can't really complain.

Didn't manage to get tickets to any events despite trying for hours online. Thought I would take in the atmosphere at Hyde Park as the next best thing. I didn't realise about the 6 inch rule but decided to chance it. On the Saturday I got through with my 70-200mm F4 no problems as my bag was...

Will be watching this with interest. Good luck with the build :thumbs:

Don't use this utility myself but it somehow might have been disabled at startup. Assuming you are using a PC go to the start menu and in Windows 7 type msconfig.exe. From the window that opens select startup and then look for any entries that refer to the EOS utility. Add a tick if there...

I too have a Wacom and use it all of the time. Only thing I miss is the scroll wheel from the mouse. Am I the only one or is there some way round this?

What I would probably do is transfer your images back via IP over Avian Carriers (IPoAC). This relatively new technology would solve all your weight issues. Link for more info below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers

I would recommend "Understanding Exposure" by Brian Petersen. Very informative and covers the basics well.

+1 here for handbrake. Use it to transfer films to both my iPad and iPhone. Easy to use, a couple of clicks and just leave it to do its thing.

+1 here. I bought one (Retrospective 20) in the States while I was on holiday a few weeks ago. Holds a huge amount of gear and a body with a 70-200 lens attached which sealed the deal for me. The only slight downside is the weight when full can make your shoulder ache if you are carrying it...

Hello and :welcome: Am sure you will enjoy it here and learn lots!

+1 here. I got this a while ago and it has proved very useful. I find myself referring back to it every so often.

I like the feel of the site and the general look. The only thing I don't like is the way any portrait pictures have the top and bottom cut off in the thumbnails. Only a minor thing.

Another vote here for teamviewer. Best of all its free for non-commercial use and very easy to use.

Same here. Network I inherited has conflikr infection. Sophos happily reports it but does nothing about it. Not a problem at home but when you have over 500 pc's\laptops you would hope Sophos would lend a hand.

Thanks for all the advise. I've had a good look at the options available and now have a clear idea of what I want to do. Also thanks for the edugeek tip wasn't aware of this site but have had a good look and am sure it will be a useful resource in the future.
