    I thought I had a magic CRT in the 1990's until all my photos looked really magenta later on. :(

    What about Delaware? It looks like a small state according to the maps. Perhaps there will be no swine flu in town two weeks from now.

    Display 2 is a good consumer calibrator, with the benefit of direct hardware support on some monitors. Everyone has or has had at least one of those. What were you using prior to that?

    This is the monitor you should get in the 24" range, or the similar one without SV if you don't want it.

    Maybe so, but what if it did not fit? The WD VR series has different connector locations.

    IE 8 for WinXP available on the windows update site.

    Firefox is far too complicated for me. It seems to need updates frequently and everything important is done by the extenders. I don't understand how typical users would want to keep up with the hassle.

    For some unknown reason standby does not work correctly on my system. It works for a short period, maybe a few minutes to an hour, but does not recover from standby if let in that state overnight.

    Just one of my computers uses about 200W, so it is a huge power waster and creates unwanted heat.

    Seagate 2TB

    That is why I like the WD Green drives. They are very cool and quiet. My old Hitachi 1TB drives need good ventilation.

    I have too many hard drives and make too many hardware changes not to reboot or shut down frequently. The power is cycled three times per day in normal use.

    I have no idea what any of that means. Adobe software messed up something - what else is new?

    Some individual ones are better than others, but you will need primes for good corners on FX/FF. The 20/2.8 is pretty poor and an old design. The original CZ 21/2.8 is the best in that range, though the moustache is annoying to some people, like me. There is a new Cosina/Zeiss 21/2.8 but only...

    DVD-RAM Recovery

    I can see the files on the disc, but they are VRO and I can't burn them to a video DVD. :( I suppose there is conversion software for sale somewhere, but it is not worth the hassle.

    It may be too late. Cropping does not substitute for positioning at the time. The image suffers from bad light, so there is not much to be done. Come back when the weather is better and be more selective in composition.

    The image is very shaky. Shoot at f/8 and use a better tripod.

    DVD-RAM Recovery

    Thanks. How can I determine if the optical drive reads the DVD-RAM. Is there something in the firmware? Are they standard files that I can copy to a DVD?

    I received a DVD-RAM cartridge of personals that looks similar to this one, except it is Type 2. How can I remove the disc and recover the data? I'd like to convert the videos to a standard DVD. Thanks.

    I won't waste money and power on such a setup. It would be better to buy a higher line UPS, than the consumer types? What is the cheapest good quality UPS?

    Oh man, the Uda quotes... FWIW, I'm from an older generation where women were more "natural" so it is not an issue. Of course at my age I can't see any details up close without reading glasses. :) Maybe it is better that way.

    2TB drives are the higher end of consumer hard drive lines and priced accordingly, regardless of RPM.

    I'm sure what you are up to, but consider: 1. Do you need a permit? 2. Will property damage, injury, or death(s) be covered by your liability insurance? 3. What do serious users or professionals do to accomplish the same goal. The proposed 5D II setup is most likely a Mickey Mouse solution...
