Good Day "50"

Good Afternoon to all--been a bit busy to-day --three grave visits and on two occasions the pots have been stolen off many graves --how can any person stoop so low as that.

Hi Ruth you ok over there??

From experience James some people will stoop to any level. They have no thought, respect, morals or concern for anyone else. They are usually the type who also have serious problems trying to string a sentence together. They live off the rest of us and generally have no place in society, nor will they ever have. But sadly we're stuck with them. Rant over, I'm very well thank you 

Sadly, you've hit the nail on the head Ruth!

Hi to all POEsters...

Scum is the word I'd use as well Peggy.

Change of subject, any news on the laptop ? 

Maybe tomorrow Peggy, it shouldn't take too long to clean (or wipe  ) the hard drive.

I find that with my camera James, turn it on, nothing happens, never dawns on me that the batteries might be flat. I've started using those Energiser Lithium ones now, they last for around 800 shots which is about 700 more than I was getting out of ordinary so called long life batteries. Still doesn't stop me having a mild panic when they have died on me  

I always put my batteries on charge as soon as I get in from a trip out with the camera whether they need it or not and I always carry a spare pair just in case. Shouldn't normally be a problem because with 2 baterries in the battery grip I can get somewhere around 800 shots depending on settings. And an 8GB card holds around 350 or more RAW files and they can be upto 25mb each.

Peggy if they are just reinstalling your OS that only takes about an hour!! But they may be doing something else in order to save as much as they can for you. If they reinstall the OS you will have to reload all your programmes etc.

Oh the joy of having to reinstall all those programmes, brings back nightmares 

Hopefully the laptop will be sorted without having to resort to a clean install of the OS.
