    This weekend I'd work for free

    That moss is a sight to behold ! Its a shame we didn't get to talk with you DC - we had a pretty tight schedule over the two days, but I hope when we come back we can meet with more of you and chat. Tony

    New computer.....iMac?

    New computer.....iMac?

    Re the monitors, you use a MiniDisplayport to Displayport cable ( or MiniDisplayPort to HDMI cable depending on your monitor ) out of the thunderbolt port on the mac, or a connected peripheral. I believe you can run up to two external monitors in addition to the iMac screen, but I only run one...

    New computer.....iMac?

    Should you ever need more screen space the Imac can run a couple of extra monitors too ;) Apples word processing software is called "Pages" and their spreadsheet software is "Numbers" - you can download both from the App Store (which will already be installed in the mac) for £13.99 each...

    New computer.....iMac?

    Hi Ady Yes, their refurb store has a 21.5" Imac in there right now. Its not the very latest, most slender model but is still a great spec. Only £100 cheaer than a new one though, and the warranty is shorter. I've had several of their refurbs and never had an issue : Refurbished iMac...

    New computer.....iMac?

    Hi Ady. I'm a Mac user, with a couple of their 'toys'. The Imac is a great machine in either 21.5 or 27" spec, but the only negative I have for it ( in terms of day to day computing ) is that they only come with the high gloss screen, so if you are going to use it in a room with daylight, it...

    UKAPS soppy ramblings....

    Well said Iain, the inspiration and information that abounds on ukaps is second to none, and a real credit to all those involved both behind the scenes, and "out front" . I certainly wouldn't have got into aquascaping as much as I have, were it not for this community, and all the help I've...

    iPhone 4 questions

    Good move George - I'm sure you'll love it :) As mentioned above re contacts, make a folder in itunes for the music you want on your iphone and tell itunes to only sync that folder, otherwise you'll cram your phone instantly. Get the free Twitter app - it makes tweeting a breeze ;) Give me a...

    Mac problem. 'Kernal panic' HELP.

    Hi Graeme Give me a call today or over the weekend and I'll see what i can do for you. Repeat kernel panics are often best resolved by restoring the OS. Highly unlikely to be a virus - just a glitch in a bit of software somewhere - have you installed anything recently ? I've PM'd you my...

    Hi Steve Go on, get the imac - you know it makes sense :D Personally I prefer Lightroom to Aperture, though that opinion was based on v1's of each, so I've stuck with LR since then. I use Photoshop all the time, and find Lightroom ties in very well with that (both by Adobe) which helps...

    Just been told off in Customs.....

    Back home and catching up on posts now ! They stopped me taking the rock as "I could use it to bludgeon someone to death" or "if it fell out of the overhead it could kill someone". All in all they had quite a laugh about it, and said they get lots of folks trying to take rocks for gardens /...

    We've about 2 inches here in Surrey, but its still snowing pretty heavy. One downside to working from home is no day off when the roads are blocked ! Drive carefully if you've got to. Tony
