Ah yes the old not much sleep, feeling not well and 2 young childrean to look after and work as well.

Get some beroca and iron tablets works a treat.

Sorry didnt wake up till 8.30

Went to go out and check the B/A umm where has all the money gone. Someones in trouble when they get home. TWH and McD's
time for kids to learn that money dont grow on trees and McD's is NOT a stable source of food.

Just dont mix with grapefruit juice or you will be up all night

Went to see Glam on Saturday (wife made me leave CC at home) and walked out with a 24-105L (only borrowed) had a play with a 5d with 24-105 and a 10-22 all very nice to play with and want even more, had a play with some canon L with IS binoculars they were nice it is amazing how steady it is with the IS on but at $2600 I don’t think I will get a pair. Have to head back up to see Glam now to drop the lens back off to him I guess I have to save up a little more to get the 24-105 but it was amazing how much sharper it was over the 24-70 2.8 sigma

Sorry dont buy that it was sharper than the sigma. I have owned both and all I can say is you have a soft Sigma. It is as sharp as the Canon 24-70 F2.8
The ONLY reason I sold the sigma was 82mm and not weather sealed.

here's one for the IT folks: I have a friend that has a laptop that has died (motherboard gone west) and wants me to build them a desktop system. Typical use would be word processing, internet stuff, and their son does a bit of games (nothing too serious)
The laptop had a COA for XP so hoping just to transfer the license.

Budget is $1000 and would like as a minimum:
19" LCD monitor
250Gb HDD
1Gb RAM
DVD writer
Minitower sized case
CPU - no exact requirements, just best value really.

has anyone got any serious reccomendations? this should be a do-able project right?

Tony - very nice picture.

Mark, don't go around doing that.. I might want to trade in my 24-70 for a 24-105! There are times when the 105 end will indeed come in handy and save me from having to change lenses all the time.

Hmmm, I wonder how much I can sell my 24-70?
