Canon software is not very good and the licensing policies are rather Draconian in that the original media may be needed for installing a downloaded update. However, a camera is not like your Coolscan in that it is not necessary to use the manufacturer-supplied software. BreezeBrowser...

So does this all mean that there no such animal?

Does such a thing as a gigabit cardbus adapter exist? I searched for one without success. It is tiresome waiting forever at 100M to copy all the files off the laptop's hard drive. :( Thanks,

Presumably there are some who do not feel they are part of the club. It can be difficult to start at a new forum. It is apparent that a low-count member's comments are often overlooked in the dialog between two or three multi-Kers. That is especially the case in the P&B forum.

I don't get it at all. There is only a tiny logo. :?:

But if my ten Maxtor drives of 160GB or greater capacity work on the FW bridges, then they must support 48-LBA, no? According to Samsung the drive is ATA-7 and the transfer rate is 133MB/sec, so I thought it must be an ATA/133 drive...

Is the SP1604N a true ATA-133 drive? I ask because my Firewire bridges (ADS/Oxford 911) do not see more than 128GB of space except on Matrox drives. I think that is because the Western Digital and Seagate drives are ATA-100 only and that there is something about the bridges that needs more...

I think all generic DiamondMax Plus 9 drives have a 1 year warranty. Whether that would be available to the end user is another story. Or is was a DiamondMax Plus 9 Photoshopped for laughs?

It's unfortunate that they did not test most of the newer notebook drives, such as the 7k60, 5k80, MHT2080AT, MK8025GAS, etc. 20 GB/platter is history, as 30 GB/platter should be, at least for 4200 RPM drives. Who wants to make a buying decision between some EOL or nearly EOL drives?

I always wear a shirt with buttons, whether at home or at work, on any continent... I especially like shirts with two pockets to hold my pens, etc.

That Radboy was. for those unfamiliar, there is much useful information at the Radified web site, including everything you ever wanted to know about the man himself. ;)

After logging in the index page is fine. I guess there are two different pages, but I don't like to log in unless posting.

Yes it is too wide. :cry: Please make the page fit into a 1024 screen, since some of us travel with notebooks and cannot change the resolution.

:oops: :oops: :oops:

I don't really understand the question. There are too many models to choose from and the reviews list a myriad of results for programs that I am clueless about. I need to buy something soon, though. The computer I have is essentially 18 months old and the processor is only 30% faster (the...

Just thinking about all those fatty donuts is enough to give one diarrhea. :roll: No wonder so many of us Americans are obese. :cry:

Well, buggery is more than I really wanted to know. j/k :) Seriously, I am truly glad to hear that you are getting back in shape. It may take a year or two, but it will be well worthwhile. Just hang in there, dude.

Is it worth $3,692? How much does the L3 cache improve performance?

The 300 GB drives are readily available at retailers such as CompUSA. The 320 GB drives seem to be scarce, and oddly, are no longer mentioned on the Maxtor web site.

Egads! Is that nice new CPU resting on a carpet?

Why an external USB soundcard?

The pressure required depends on the water column height. Pumps are used in high-rise apartment/condo buildings.

You are forgetting IBM/Hitachi. ;) The three of them combined have a significant portion of the hard drive market. :) Of course their 3-platter drives most likely represent the minority of sales, since 2 platters is the sweet spot.

Buy a notebook. ;)

Kevin: Yeah, I know what you mean. I am older than Blake and Tim combined. :x

WTF happened I don't know, but it is sad that PW is exiting. I've seen simiar drmas played out on other forums lately. Maybe it is the mix of passion and youth. Anyway, goodbye fish lover.

I have seen links to that USB-powered toothtbrush, but it does not contain batteries. Who wants to brush their teeth next to a $2600 notebook? And who takes their notebook into the loo? (OK, that last one was rhetorical; don't answer.) That got me thinking about other USB-powered devices...

Is this a poll? :lol: I use the older-style Braun Ultra Plaque Remover, but I am looking for something lighter weight for travel. The Braun uses an inductive charger that must be taken on extended trips. I would love to have an electric toothbrush that charges through a USB port! I can only...

You would have had to if all four wisdom teeth were impacted. :( I wonder if I am the only here who brushes his teeth over 20 times per week and has a professional cleaning every four months.

Like Shaw said, youth is wasted on the young. *sigh* I have 28 teeth, but only because the wisdom teeth had to be removed.

I have not and will not own a cellular telephone. I have never even used one. All those little buttons look far too complicated. The sound quality is for sh*t more often than not. Maybe if cellular telephones had existed 30 years ago my feelings would be different.

Put your gasmask on.

:cry: You need four root canals? :eekers: Dare I ask how old you are? Could it be that one of the teeth was #32? Most humans have no more than 32 teeth.

??? What is the amusement?

Not usually, but some degradants are toxic, especially to people who are sensitive, or not young, healthy adults The shelf life of drugs is currently established through stability testing according to ICH guideline Q1A(R2). Many drug products are stable for longer than the labeled expiration...

To start, I am not familiar with Health Canada regulations nor I am specifically familiar with the degradation products of acetaminophen or codeine. I have noticed a spate of recent recalls for Tylenol 3, but they were mostly or entirely suspensions IIRC. Pharmacy bottles don't provide very...

I read it, but all that Windows stuff is too confusing for a non-computer person. About all I can gather is that the file linked above contains the full SP4. I don't know what that has to do with networking. Anyway, 130MB is too much for my connection (36K today). Maybe Julie could download...

Are you joking? Why don't you follow the expiration date?

What does that mean? Can one not just download and install it?

But isn't it just the same old WD2500JB in an external bridge box?

Huh? I only mentioned that Canon is the better choice in general and proceeded to give specific advice/opinion. My reasoning is that Canon is a much larger company with deeper R&D pockets which will keep it on the forefront of technology - in both SLR lenses and digital bodies. This may or...

The first thing I would suggest is to pick one brand. ;) If you plan to buy a digital SLR in the future, Canon is probably the better choice. Unfortunately, neither of your current lenses are very good. The only item I would consider keeping is the F70/N70, but it has limited compatibility...

Ouch! My condolences.

There could be several issues affecting the plane of focus when such a contraption is used. One is often field curvature (one of the five Seidel aberrations) and the other could be that the axis of the lens is tilted. How is the scope mounted to the body?

You could boot to the DOS version of Partition Magic and format even a 250 GB drive as FAT32 in about a minute. It beats the hell out of the format command.

PM7 works fine for drives up to 250 GB; I have not tried the 300 GB drive since it is on backorder. I assume that PM8 would work as well. PowerQuest lists the maximum drive capacities that have been validated to work with PM, not necessarily the largest drives that will work. ;)

Americans, especially, are far too selfish and uncivilized for such a concept, even if the technology were economically viable.

EOS 1Ds + best lenses ~= 645 in some respects. 6x8 with movement is a whole other story. ;)

Re: Thanks: But... Oh Greg, you will never change. I like that. :) If I could only afford a few TB of 15K SCSI speed...

Gary: Of course it really is not a fair comparison between 35 mm digital and MF or LF. You know what I want?... a high-res (non-scanning) digital back for the Fuji GX680. That would be my ultimate. :)
