Well I am testing Telecoms sense of humor this morning, I send them my Famous Dr Evil picture for my staff ID

not sure about sense of humour, I know an engineer who replaced his photograph with a picture of superman. No-one noticed.

I'll post here instead, nice shots dave, but with the cars, you trying to hide the number plates? (as the last 3 car shot, has the plates still in them)

Ah bugger. TBH it's more for when I posted them on the car forums the owners frequent so fellow car nuts can't source the car they always dreamed of via their number plates.

I have had two similar units (X'S Drives), the main issue I found with them is performance, they seem OK on the day you get them but in the longer term they don't keep up (mine was OK in the days of 1GB cards, but way too slow with 4GB cards), also they are a pain to use (the X'S drive requires you monitor it or it auto powers off and you don't know if the copy was successful, also a single 4GB card can almost wipe the battery out).

The unit you have sent a link to does look better, it is five times faster (check that includes the verify time though, as mine takes twice as long when verify is enabled.

On our recent trip to Raro I only used CF cards and deleted the obvious cr@p during the evenings. I had 10GB of CF on me, used on 6GB in the end. CF is cheap, 4GB for under $100 now.

I have a huge favor to ask of someone.

I have some work which is going to be submitted and i am wanting to put a watermark on the pics.

But, alas i have no water mark apart from standard type one.

I have >0 photoshop skill and wondering is someone could make me a watermark with just my name in it please!!?!?! Love you long time!

What font do you want? And do you need it to resize the pic?

Anything which has a pro look to it. Basic looking.

There are a few pics and yeah will be resizing them
