A friend of mine who does MA Animation at my uni (well, used to, he got employed half way through his degree so moved back to Iran) uses a 17" MBP dual booting with XP purely for XPs 3D application support, because OS X just doesnt have it. Based on personal experience, I've got Macs, and can never see myself going back to PCs. I got my first Mac (G3 iBook) in September 2003, traded that in and got a 20" iMac in January 2005 and at that point my dad got rid of his PC and got himself an eMac and hasnt looked back sinde, then in July I got myself a 15" MacBook Pro and my sister got a MacBook, and she loves it. My two PC using housemates who I live with in uni are planning on getting Macs in the not too distant future because theyre fed up with PCs being "shit", the other two housemates have already got Macs.

Currently 19 years old in my second year of uni studying Graphic Design. Living in a rented house with 4 of my friends, moving into a bigger house next year with 5 of my friends, dunno what's going on after that. Been through school, left with 5 1/2 GCSE's which was enough to get into college to do graphic design, got through college with enough points to get me into uni, first year of uni was shit, got enough marks to get me through the first year and now im starting to buck my ideas up. Got involved with one of the lecturers projects outside of uni which could see us travelling all over the world exhibiting at galleries, festivals, etc. which will be quite interesting, our current projects for that include projecting stuff on buildings, we're about to rebrand a vending machine and put it in the uni, and gonna do some stuff like GRL [ http://www.graffitiresearchlab.com/ ] and all sorts of other shit. Should be fun. I dont actually know where my lifes going, but at the moment, it's pretty interesting. Oh and incase you were wondering, the project is http://www.justundoit.com

Why not get some of your mates to come over and give you a hand?

You can get an S9500 for £250 on the PC World website.

Yeah if they keep working at it and sort out the physics/cpu usage then it will be cool.

Haha yeah sidehop does look a bit like Boon. The acting is shit but its the kinda program you watch anyway, and just hope it will get better haha.

What an awesome photo, nice one Steve!!!

Nice one mate. Shat on MadManMikes misery parade.

is it anything like elastomania? THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!

R.I.P.

anyone still watching?

i'm getting it now! can't wait to see them!!

Those ebay wireless kits arent camera specific. I've got 3 recievers for my 3 flash's. Would have cost me about a grand for PWs, £35 for the ebay ones I know therye not as good, but they do for now until i'm rolling in the benjamins. For those that care, you can see all my kit here, http://flickr.com/photos/jonsterm/361989271/ OH! In answer to the original question, get a Sigma EF-500 DG Super, £127 from onestop-digital.

Thought I'd reply with the part number, Nikon EN-EL3, not really that hard to find Dave, "Nikon D50 Battery" seemed to work for me in google.

I assume you've got the boys from The Arteries involved?

We just bought NTL for our house, its like £25 a month for 4MB, and theres 5 of us sharing it, so it's a £5er each and we just split the cost of a wireless router. You don't need a phone line doing it with cable.

The Nokias should be, O2 Nokias come unlocked, and Tesco is part of the O2 network i think.

Ill post a pic of mine in a bit 15" 2.16Ghz Macbook Pro and 20" G5 iMac

Buy a 4GB card off ebay for £45 and downgrade to 1.5 then upgrade to 3.03-B. Then you wont wanna watch videos, cos you can just play any PSP or PS1 game by loading it on your memory card. It's so schweet But apart from that, I dunno Megaupload, Yousendit and stuff like that are good.

Congratulations!!

It's not going to be able to have extra apps installed on it.

How do you find that lens? Dan & Urban Mammoth, the EF-500 DG Super is an awesome flash, you can get them for £130 from onestop-digital.com (haha I recommend that place to everyone!) so if you're looking for the cheapest place to find it, that's probably it!

I mean it in the sense of an off-camera flash, used for lighting from multiple points, like this Sorry if strobe isnt the correct technical term. I'm not concerned about what other people have, I'm just interested. But yeah at the end of the day, it's all to do with results.

I think its 10 days. Used to be back when it was Electronics Boutique anyway

Your dad is like proper full on pro photographer though isnt he?! You must have a decent amount of stuff! Well, including his stuff anyway. But that doesnt count Heh yeah I'm looking forward to the 10.5 too, I can't really afford it, but what the hell, a new lens every student loan payment just has to be done!! My housemates will go "wtf you bought that for you've got no money" and I don't plan on telling my parents!! EDIT: See there we go, first line, "Nikon D100 (soon to be D200)" You got a decent amount of glass there too! I need to get myself a decent bag for carrying my MacBook Pro and all my shizzle around in, I'm thinking a Crumpler Formal Lounge or Farmers Double, and as I'm soon to have three flash's and 4 lenses (even though I'll only carry the Sigma and the Nikon 10.5mm), i'ts gonna have to be a pretty decent size!
