... like Minesweeper and MS Paint! (and not Aperture or Final Cut Pro).

I tried Aperture and was very quickly back to LR.

Whilst not wanting to start a flame war with Mr Juice

A few years ago I sold a 3-year old 12" Powerbook (new price $2499) for $1400 on eBay - which I had leased and claimed the entire 3 years of lease costs off my taxable income 100% - which meant after selling it for $1400 I actually made money, whilst never enduring a blue screen of death, virus attack or any other unpleasantness whatsoever.

Do that with your $799 Dell laptop... assuming it even makes it to 3 years.

Yes, looks like you don't want to indeed. Last Blue screen of death here? Don't recall. Last virus? Don't recall. Doesn't stop Apple fanbois bringing them up all the time, though.

Dan, your mail box is apparently over quota! I don't have enough space to host the shots either...Want me to post them to you?

Put them up at rapidshare, or somewhere. Easier at both ends.

Dell laptops have no issue getting to 3 years without any failures. It's the week after the warranty expires you have to worry about. :lol:

I was very surprised when they replaced the HDD in Dad's laptop a month after the three year warranty expired. No requirement to, obviously.

I haven't run an anti-virus app for a while. Even when I do (laptop which I frequently travel with) I use the free Microsoft Security Essentials. 4MB download, very low on system resources.

I tried Aperture and was very quickly back to LR.

I'm the opposite to that.... I've used Aperture for a couple of years and heard glowing reports from LR users so I downloaded the beta version to try out and I couldn't get into it... the interface seemed clunky and a bit too messy or something for me. I dunno, I'm not a heavy CS user so maybe I'm not schooled enough in the Adobe way of doing things. Could also be my lack of screen real estate that made it feel so cramped - I usually open images full-screen in aperture and just use the adjustment panel which hardly takes up any room at all... LR seemed to take up a lot of "room" for the same purposes...

Having said that, I haven't tried the new version yet...

In LR, you can hide the four panels so that your image is larger, then all you do is scroll over the top of where the panel is and it shows up temporarily. I do that regularly on my laptop, but I don't at all on my 24" full HD LCD. LR's a brilliant program.

Water damaged insurance claim goods!!... even the manufacturer would steer clear of warranty!

Checked out an up coming model shoot location I am planning. Watcha think? The height of the tunnel would be around 20 feet or so, the grafitti goes up around 7 foot high to give you an indication of the size.

Looks good to me, as long as it's not too difficult to get to.

No, Australian law is "Fitness for purchase"..........

So, If you buy a $2 window cleaner gadget from Cheap As Chips, there is an "Implied warranty" that the thing will work as advertised. However, if it breaks after 11 months of use, the overall consideration would be that you have got a good life from the product (unless of course it SPECIFICALLY said it had a 12 month warranty), however, if you purchased a $5,000 television and it failed after 13 months (with a 12 month warranty) that would NOT be considered proper.

However, for all of the ACCC laws, words and legal blah-blah, warranty issues are a CIVIL matter, so you cannot look to the ACCC for support when something does go wrong !!
