Title: Your XMAS GOODIES!!!
Post by: Fred A on December 26, 2012, 11:42:41 AM
WHAT Gadget did SANTA bring YOU?
Yes, It's time to tell all!
We don't want to hear about pairs of socks or underwear.
If Santa brought you anything for your computer, camera, flash, memory cards, printers, Laptop, Tablet, even if you got a Qimage Ultimate for Hanukkah, tell us!

It will be fun to share!!

I got a Garmin GPS

I didn't say that you should make us all jealous...
Wow that's a beauty. It has a flash drive...
Many years of pleasure!

I did well?  I bought an SSD in mid Dec.  In plenty of time to transfer everything from my HDD but I didn't realise that for this HDD activating ACHI was essential.  So learned how to use PartitionMagic and clean the drive.  Reloaded all Windows infinite number of updates on a flaky internet connection.  Then everything kept freezing (not the weather, that was in full spate).  So, started again.  Phew all done, just in time to get the family Christmas cards printed late on Christmas eve - in Q of course.

Also received Gary Friedman's much vaunted book on the Sony A77 and a copy of Elements 11.  I've not dipped into Adobe PS software - Qimage has done most of what I want for 13(!) years.  Loading and opening that will be a bit like venturing onto a dubious website!

But the best present of all - Fred's rhyme.  Thank you Fred.

Happy New Year to all, especially Mike.

Sandy

I suppose it serves me right for being such a miserable sod.

Hope you all had a great Christmas even if you didn't get any goodies.
My son bought me a Aputure Pro Coworker Remote Shutter release gadget.

You can use the receiver part alone as a cable release in addition to remote wireless release with the transmitter. It's very much better to use than the little infra-red gadget I already have.
I have an Amazon token too so may put that towards a powerful wireless adaptor for my home network.  8)
