Ha, that was just a street performer that was at the arts centre - happens every Sunday. I think it's just Sundays anyway.

Cheers, Shane.

Confirmed prototype of the Canon 17-200mm f/4L

hahaha gary - lets see some shots with it - or it never happened!

I had to send it to Canon to have the magic pixie dust reservoir refilled. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it)

lol i dare you to sellotape them together and send it to them! tell them its vignetting

Quick question for those experienced with Microsoft:

If I needed 3 copies of Excel (only excel, don't need the full office suite) would it be cheaper to buy 3 copies (about $400 each), or get a 1 copy and some kind of multi user license?
Note I know nothing about multi user licenses, how to get them, or where to get them from.

andrew whats the use of this... private individuals - work - etc

volume licensing is the cheapest way to go but only if you have an existing volume license or need to purchase more than 5 ms products or licenses. and this allows you to add more on to it at a later date... you aso get upgrades etc. (but imo its a con)

$400 for retail excel is going to the best option i think, but as i don't know the full ins and outs then this is hard to say....

welcome to the joys of 500 ways to purchase a ms license and still get screwed on price.

For work, we mostly use OpenOffice, but accounts have need for Excel, as OpenOffice is not as compatible with exported file types as we would like.
So it needs to be a legitimate, for small business license, and since only accounts need it, we only need 3 copies, not 50 (and preferably not at $400 each).
