Excellent! Thanks for the info. P.

Hi, I have not been active on the forum for a loooong time. Being happy listening to my rig (actually speakers) with no upgrade, can you believe it? I'm considering buying an e-mu 0404 for office use. That would be plugged to a Corda HA1 amp and either an AKG 240S or a HD600. However I...

I'm a bit confused here. You said you want to setup a server. If so, you should not bother about office/productivity suite, right? If you only need the server functionality, I would love to recommend linux. However, as you have no previous experience of it, I have to advice staying away. It...

I discovered Michael Hedges thanks to HF. Really like it! P.

If I understand right, windows reboots 'spontaneously' after a few seconds of uptime? Probably with some warning. If so, it's probably the effect of an attack on its RPC stack. It is a long known weakness but it's easy to fix, either through service packs or through a firewall. The quick...

If you are just looking at cropping and color balance along with hue and saturation., irfan viewer will do the trick and is both free and lightweight: http://www.irfanview.com/ P.

My favorite one is Bullit by Lalo Schiffrin. Like the movie too! P.

Hi there, I thought that instead of downloading yet another Phish show from gdlive (shn), I could start with some Grateful Dead stuff. I don't have anything yet from GD; so what would you recommend for a first taste (what year, recent or old, or even a specific show). Here is the current...

Damn it! More temptation! Is a zoom (optical) above x3 really usefull without a support (tripod?). I have not that a steady hand and will not walk around with a tripod! P.

Thanks for the many answers! I will focus on the Ixus, Dimage and Coolpix and try to test them as much as possible. I aggree 100% that ergonomy is more important than raw features/performance. It is nice that dpreview gives detailed speed indication as this is also a concern (how fast you...

Thx for the hint. I'm in Europe, so not much of a possibility to me. But I take notice of the accumulating cost of accessories. By the way, I would prefer a camera using normal AA batteries rather than slim ones. Of course this will enlarge the size but I'm willing to accept it. P.

Hi everyone, I will finally get my first digital camera. My old very cheap and basic APS camera is almost not used but a second kid comming this spring is a good motivation! I want to keep it cheap (around $300-$400) and I'm unsure about what kind of camera to go for: A/ very slim 4megs...

In my opinion too, the Who wins on the originality side. They invented the rock opera and the sound wall. They have bizarre but intricate lyrics where Led Zeppeling, imho, have teenage fantasy inspiration. Once again, Led Zeppelin had such an attitude I cannot approve. They just ripped-off...

I voted for the Who. I think they are more creative. And Led Zep ripped too much of Muddy Waters work without any acknowledgement. P.

Sorry, I did not listen to the Atoll CD100. I was starting with a EUR500 budget in mind! It can be wise to go has high as you can in your buy in order to avoid the cost of small jumps. P.
