lol,, kid get over it. If there is a good product that is worth buying ill go for it. Is microsoft a bad company? yes, maybe, and of course, however Windows is *Not* a bad OS, its just OSX is that much better. You pick, the mouse apple supplied you with, the same one i have, or this trackball explorer, best mouse ive ever owned. Stop being so neophobic and grow up ; )

If the poster above means the picture from out your window then I'd like to second that - it would make a lovely backdrop (particularly for those of us with views over the next few houses and not much more - think I'm getting horizon starvation again...)

aribus, all2ofme - no problem whatsoever.

I love those hills You should check out the quality of the image first, though - it's not that great since it was one of those "Honey, look at that sky! Quick - get the camera!" kind of shots. If you're picky (like me) you'll want to do some Photoshop'ing on it. Here we go:

- The first one, for those who don't feel like fixing & chopping, is all ready to go @ 1280 x 1024 (590 KB)
- The second one, for those who like to do their own chopping, the raw jpg as it came out of the camera (1.3 MB)

Have fun + cheers,

eff

(edit: fixed link to raw jpg file)

hey guys,

sorry for the messed up link - here we go:Oh, and the camera is a Fuji FinePix S602 Z - nice little thingie. I bought it primarily for the full resolution VGA video mode, works like a charm.

cheers.
