worth checking out the POTN forums if thinking of Canon route (www.photography-on-the.net) and look at the lens section/birds sections for hints/tips and comparisons on lenses e.g. 400mm f5.6 vs 100-400mm etc. Looking at the 100-400 myself as it will be replacing my 70-300 Sigma, so would...

I'll gather it's a V1 of the WAG54G? i#ve had 3 of these RMA'd with the same issue. All of the 4 ports fail to connect at anything over 10Mb half-duplex. Linksys do provide a 3yr warranty, but as it's a known issue, you may be able to RMA it if still out of warranty. Ogbyte

forgot to mention we did pay ours over 10/12mths IIRC, which does help with paying the rather inflated costs they charge. Ogbyte

unfortunately i will have to add ourselves to the list of Venture users and happy punters. We went for our session about a year ago, and must say it was a great laugh, kids enjoyed the daftness of it. No staid posses or anything, more of a how your are naturally type of thing. We spent...

an update for anyone interested: Moved the card and drivers over to the new PC - old one was running Win2k3 Server, new one running Win2k Pro, installed drivers for Raid card. 600GB RAID drive appears in Disk manager (Foreign drive) - import foreign drive, and low & behold, back appears my...

Ever thought of getting an LPG powered car: Current Car 60000 (Miles) / 19 (MPG) = 3157.894737 (Gallons Used) 3157.894737 x 4.546 = 14355.78947 (Litres Used) 14355.78947 x 1.079 (£ per litre) = £15489.90 Potential LPG Car 60000 (Miles) / 30 (MPG) = 2000 (Gallons Used) 2000 x 4.546 =...

i've heard it said and mentioned on many hi-fi/av forums that usually cables is about 10% cost of total system - so £160 isn't to bad for everything needed. Ogbyte

Worth trying ASDA's photo stuff - had about 300 done last year whilst on holiday - they do lustre prints (sort of halfway between gloss/matt) and the print quality was very good. They did crop a bit though - images were meant to be printed at 6x4.5 (from camera) but they only do 6x4. Cheap...

another thing to be careful of is whether the plasterboard is fixed to the wall using just a dot n dab method or is fixed to a wood uprights. we have a 42" plasma and a 27" LCD mounted to a plasterboard wall (not the same wall though :D :rolleyes: ) using mounting similar to these types...

i've used netgear cheapo ones, and currently have a linksys unit (requires a driver on each machine though), but most common and least fiddly i've come across have to be the HP Jetdirect units. Ogbyte

trying to setup dualscreen with the above card - using two TFT's one connected to VGA and other connect to DVI via VGA to DVI converter, running Win2k Pro. Can get display to appear on both screens, but unable to expand desktop across both. Screens work, as it was working on my Ti4800 (it's...

I've just upgraded my Thinkpad 770 with a 20GB hd after the original 5GB died. I'd previously tried a 30GB fujitsu which also worked without issues. System is now running XP pro with 220MB RAM :D Ogbyte
