    New Telephoto Lens for wildlife photography

    The Canon 400mm f5.6 L is a great lens, with the built in hood. I had one for a while. For a wildlife lens it's light weight and not crazy big, but yea a lot bigger than little EFS kit lenses.

    Windows 7 - What crap can I turn off running in the background?

    I've just been playing with Windows 7 and it's not too bad when everything is tweaked to classic style. I can't find a way to get a proper XP classic style start menu though. I think Win7 is very bad and amaturish when its freshly installed, like XP and Vista. I just prefer a slick and simple...

    Windows 7 - What crap can I turn off running in the background?

    thanks for the reply, I know it handles memory better and mutithreading and the latest Direct X etc,, how can you get a classic looking start menu ? I turned off the UAC because I don't like having to confirm everything 3 times. I think gadgets are a waste of resources and im not convinced by...

    Windows 7 - What crap can I turn off running in the background?

    I don't understand why everyone seems to like Windows 7. I've tried XP and Windows 7 on the same machine (a new mid range system) and it runs much smoother on a tweaked XP than it does with Windows 7. Win7 has so many retarded and annoying features and I hate the start menu.. XP in proper...

    Viewsonic VX2835wm

    Samsung support is very good. My warrenty had run out on my 19inch LCD but they still rang me back twice to help me with my query. Nothing they can do now that the warrenty has run out though.

    Viewsonic VX2835wm

    thanks for the warning, I assume you mean repairtech ? which the Viewsonic UK support page links to. On a quick google, i find it has lots of complaints :/

    Viewsonic VX2835wm

    what do you think about this monitor ? I'm thinking of getting one for PC games, DVDs and general PC usage. I was also considering the Hanns-G 28inch but lack of 16:9 is a bit of an issue. cheers.

    MANHUNT 2

    games traditionally have been about killing things, shooting the baddies or whatever. Too much censorship and paranoia these days, but yea even this computer games isnt as bad as a lot of big movies for gore factor and violence. The censorship law only applies to physical goods, so...
