The older boot loaders from Partition Magic and System Commander need to be installed in a FAT primary partition to make one OS partition active and the other OS partitions invisible, so they don't see each other. I used to dedicate the first primary for this purpose, keeping the partition size...

Tannin, from the amount of tea you drink, you're obviously PUI ;-) Gilbo, thanks. I bought Vista Home Premium 64-bit just to run PS CS3. I haven't installed Vista (or CS3) yet. Maybe I should sell it off for what I can get. No point installing such shit and suffering the ensuing agony.

What's a hard crash?

I was trying to be funny, Merc. ;-)

New display sizes to excite Tannin: So, a plethora of "new" screen sizes awaits us - 21.6 inches, 26 inches at the top, and 15.6 inches at the bottom. 1920x1080, 1280x720, 1600x900 - all kinds of old-new funny pixel counts. CES report from The Inquirer

Just slogging my butt out.

Never did try JW Green Label. Glenlivet's ok. I really do like JW Blue label. Don't often have it, too expensive.

They've eaten crow. Downloadable .reg files that restore the ability to open files, and downloadable .reg that put the restrictions back in place, both by application type (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.). Link is here (scroll down to Method 1).

My MH-C9000 doesn't make any noises at all. Maybe your's is defective. Call Thomas.

Ditto! Most of what I know came from SR and SF. My sincere thanks to you guys! I remember Crispulo for some reason. And it was a post made by Tony on SR that brought me here. My thanks especially to him. Y'all a bunch of swell guys, despite that occasional heated exchange caused by...

That's too bad, Will. Where did you get them from? Where they packed properly?

DC Resource reviews the Nikon D300.

How so? You're a sweet guy who's never gotten into a conflict like I have. Handy's had to lock several threads as a result of my posts. :crap:

Their customer service is really good. You should call and tell them. I'm sure they'll address the issue.

I have an LG TV that is supposed to do this ("Magic Eye"). It sucks so bad I turned the feature off. Sharp probably have refined their algorithm to work better.

Women seem to love the SD series; small enough to fit in a purse. I got an SD600 for my wife in 2006 and she uses it a lot. This is a person who is very picky about things. She takes way more pics (and mostly good ones, too; she has a knack for it) than I do.

Shit. And this was something I was planning to do; fortunately haven't had the time so far. Or I'd probably have pulled the remaining few hairs out of my head.

I'm glad to know he is well too. I come here to be with friends, not necessarily for computer related stuff (there is Google for that).

I have a large old photo that I scanned in two overlapping halves and was trying to merge those using Photoshop Elements 4.0 (which is all I had then). Using File --> New --> Photomerge Panorama

Been there, done that :-D - almost frying the motherboard, I mean, and not on my first build either. When I built my present system (2006) using a DFI motherboard, I had everything working, then bought a Silverstone front 3.5" bay USB port thingy, checked the motherboard manual for the USB...

I got this info from MS' website in the summer, and made a table for my reference. The following table specifies the limits on physical memory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Physical memory limits | 32-bit Win |...

What OS and how much RAM do you use to Photoshop files that big? XP Pro 32-bit and 2GB RAM crashed for me when I was trying to merge two 150MB TIFF files. Page file was set to 2GB.

Thanks for the tips, e_dawg!

He's probably using it with more RAM than can be used in XP.

Lunar, think of it as unpaid wedding-like photography (for family and friends). These functions (weddings, engagements, and similar events) typically last 3-4 hours in my neck of the woods, and I usually wander around taking candids, and when people cooperate, group photos of anywhere from 2 to...

Let's say I'm theoretically interested in these two lenses: AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED ...... 754gms ... $1,200 AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED ... 1,452gms ... $1,625These are supposed to be top notch "pro" lenses. The downsides are cost and weight. Lets add a D300...

Cool! BTW, looks like Tannin's info is still entered in the camera settings (Artist, etc.)

Awright guys, the Nikon D3 and D300 apparently are shipping in decent volumes, contrary to expectations of a prolonged drought in supply. Anybody other than Gilbo touch/feel one, and/or have one on order?

Congrats, Tannin and Tea, you got your wish! Let's hope the world is just that much teensier a better place in the future. Now to see how things pan out in that other place...

Thanks Gilbo.

Gilbo, the D3 and D300 have the same LCD. So are you saying the E3's display was better than Nikon's fabulous new LCD?

Whatever works for you, Lost ;)

Why so much discrepancy between different models, Tannin? Is it because of different usage patterns - changing the lens on the 20D more frequently, for example?

It's going to happen, DD, the choice is either a slow roast or a quick one :-D

Seconded. Eat shamelessly, all.

Sorry, I sure wasn't trying to tivialize your problem. I'm just clumsy expressing myself.

Great pic, Clocker. My kid came a week early, the same day of the last checkup my wife had during which the Ob/Gyn assured us there was at least a week to go. I was working 7x16, and we still hadn't bought a lot of stuff - including infant seat, crib, etc. Neither was a bag packed for the...

Sorry to hear that, Lunar. Hope things do get better quickly for you.

I read a news item yesterday that MS was putting out 3 fixes for Vista, one of which addressed laptop issues. Can't find the damn thing now.

Gosh Gilbo, thanks for that fabulous post! I skimmed through it (am at work); will read it in detail later. Thanks bud!

PennySaver, a garage sale?

1) OP worded post badly; would like everybody's input, not just e_dawg's. That includes LM, Tannin, etc. 2) Uda, OP is not interested in Rebel class bodies! It will be a 40D or D300. And where did I say that I wanted to spend only $650? And that I wanted only one lens? Huh? E_D, I'd lean more...

Thanks e_dawg. I've read that somebody buying an SLR or DSLR for the first time should pick the lens system first and then decide which camera body to buy, and this makes sense. The big question is whether to go with Canon or Nikkor glass. I'd really value your advice on this. Ideally, I'd...

Your sig says it, Tannin.

Gary, it's all your fault. You're not here most of the time, and the odd time that you are, others aren't, and you end up having conversations with yourselves 8-)

Thanks Lunar. When the time comes, I just ask here!

What are the good online places to read up on lens reviews?

"Staples now carries the most Dell ink and toner, notebooks, desktops, all-in-ones, printers, and monitors at your local Staples store. Dell is also available online (at Staples.com)". YAY! (This is an email I just got from Staples). So the vaunted direct-sell model ain't working no more......

Congrats, Clocker! You sure are going to be busy from now on!

Well, partial success! I went back into Partmagic and unhid the two partitions (formerly D & E). After re-booting, Disk Management allowed me to assign E to the second partition. Upon mounting the Truecrypt volume, it becomes D like the old times. So far, so good. The Dell partition is still...
