Nope.
Im feeling a bit redundant actualy.
Might have to talk to boss on monday, getting rid of me could save the company thousands, and every good loyal employee always wants to save the company money.



So long and thanks for all the flash

I used to work for Fonterra, but they sold me off to EDS. I used to work for EDS but they sold me off to Infinity.

Ohh how I feel used and abused.

You think that's abused?

I used to work for Telecom, but they made me redundant.
I then got a job at Bluestar, who then bought U-bix they moved me there.
Eric Watson then bought Wang, they moved me there.
Wang became Gen-i - just the letterhead changed.
Then Telecom bought Gen-i.
technically, I've been employed by Telecom all my working life!
:rolleyes:


some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:
TF posting: here :-)

Thanks for that.

Yeah I forgot the 1DSMkII was released in September 2004... That's why the next 22 megapixel 1DSIII is due in September.

I was reading the rumours.. Something about 4fps at 22megapixel FF
8fps at 1.3 crop 16megapixel
and 8/11 megapixel 1.6x crop at 10+fps...

Sounds like the Ni oink ;)

If the rumours deem to be the truth, think it's worth a buy huh. Sounds fricken sweet.
