    Who do you use for international travel insurance? There are numerous companies, but all the fine print gives a headache. :( The policies are around 4-6% depending on coverage and type of evacuation. The main problem is that you have to buy the insurance at time of deposition, or there is a...

    I finally was able to find the right site through a board via the Bing. It should not be so obtuse. I received a reply from the Amazon in the wee hours. Package is lost in transit and will be replaced.

    Another shingled turd, Seagate release an external 5TB SMR drive.

    I prefer the heliums, which will replace the airy drives in the future.

    It is difficult to figure out, but I should not complain so much. I'm in pain and not feeling well, but I need to do it without meds until I see the doc next week. I think internal stitches have dissolved. I will try a pickup at Microcenter or Frys after the big weekend.

    Normally I try weekends, but I think this shipper is also during the week for medium value packages. The product is discontinued so with my luck it won't be available.

    Apparently there is no recourse from Amazon until you wait for four weeks, and I will be away by then. It seems that the Amazon will leave most of the <$100 packages and the ones over about $500 are via UPS. I used to buy from Newegg, but then their shipping went down the tubes. Are there any...

    Acrobat Reader Replacement

    It is not the easiest to find. ;) The free version does quite a bit though there is some learning about the interface. Mainly I wanted the stand alone download (Abode only offers that to business) and a version that is regularly updated. Thanks, Tony.

    LED flashlights

    According to what I found the main difference is that in V2 of the light the red LEDs under the buttons do not illuminate in the lockup mode as compared to the old ones that do illuminate.

    I've had a missed delivery before, but they redelivered the next day o two. There does not seem to be any recourse in this case as there is nothing other than the statement below. :( Delivery attempted An attempt was made to deliver your package.

    Amazon is full of it. Same delivery day never came Saturday or since. The website indicates that I was not available. Shiping compAnies are liars. There is no redelivery date. :mad:

    Windows viewer doesn't really do anything with RAW files. It just shows the images processed with the camera settings at the time. You want NX-D to actually do something to RAW files.

    That would be more of a greeting for reception here. I was thinking of a direct line or transfer by directory. I don't even answer the desk phone if the caller ID is not somebody I recognize. There are so many cold solicitations it is ridiculous.

    Don't you expect a proper greeting on a business number? How do you answer the phone, just hello? I would answer, "Hello this is Dennis."

    I doubt there is much fat left. Some is cutting R&D and some is moving more production to China. The masses are using Iphones, so the overall ILC market is dwindling rapidly.

    I disable those windows features, but keep in mind that you would be launching whatever jpeg viewer or raw converter software that is installed.

    Not very stable with 1D series and 70-200/4 IS. The whole setup is quite bulky/heavy and not good for hiking either. The battery and contoller are like something from the 1990s.
