lmao...  go fer it BS.

Apple are very good at making things look sexi..  but they are also very good at marketing their products to make them look uber-sexi.

I think thats what hooked me in on both the ATV and the ipad. 

And me too on Blackberrys

I'm a marketing mans dream, Kitz. I'm sure if you look in your Thesaurus under 'Gullible fool', it will have 'Black sheep' as the first entry. Hey-ho, it's only cash and I've worked hard all my life. Come to Daddy i-Mac ..... come to Daddy.

A man after my own heart!  Are you the same with cars?

Not so good with cars, at least, not attempted it yet!

There's a well-documented ebay phenomenon concerning SPARES OR REPAIR.  More of a mental disorder, perhaps, that afflicts only men.

List anything on ebay as FAULTY and suddenly it attracts dozens of male bidders, all keen to prove their expertise at fixing the unfixable. And the more broken it is, the more bids it gets!  Must be a primitive Alpha Male Ego thing!

I have boxes full of junk that I ought to get rid of, perhaps I will put them up on ebay as spares/repair and see what happens.  Though I always hate to get rid of something in case it comes in handy next week.

Don't rule it out! And the more complex the job, the more worthless the car, and the more pointless the task,  the more appealing it all becomes

Definitely.  My logic too. Which is why, for many years, I have carefully stored a box full of spare parts (believed to be) for a Messerschmitt KR200 bubble car  - a vehicle which I have never owned, and which I sincerely hope never to own

Well, the baby is up and running. Gotta say, it's the easiest thing on planet Earth to set up. Only one wire to connect, which is the power lead. A quick 5 minute walk-through on initialisation, and hey presto ..... one is ready to go.

Looks sleek and sexy, just need to get to grips with the OS. Have managed to upload some pictures and i-Photo is out of this world !!! I've regressed back to being a young lad on Xmas morning.

Nice one.... have fun with your new toy

[Black Sheep]

ha ha, thanks Kitz. Fun is slowly turning to frustration, trying to navigate this OS. 

I'm trying to resize some photo's from 2Meg each in size, to between 300-600Kbps, thus far I've managed to lose a couple of photo's and my language is befitting of a Premiership footballer !!

Did I say I love a challenge ?? ..... I lied, I might pay for asbo to fly over to mine to 'sort it'.

Hmmmm ?? losing clarity

[kitz]

Looks very smart

>> Hmmmm ?? losing clarity

Yes it will do .  jpg uses lossy compression so each time you re-save a jpg image then you will loose some quality.   If you are editing jpgs (or photos) you are always best saving a copy of the image and working on the copy, thus retaining best quality on the original.

Thanks, Kitz. Its all new to me is this, so just finding my feet.
