Hello This is my first post after having been a 'lurker' for some time and I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself to everyone. My name is Quentin and I am a photographer who specializes in architectural photography and editorial interiors. I use a Horsmann Digiflex II with a Jenoptik Eyelike 16 shot back tied to a G4 powerbook. Having been a user of PC for 15 years my knowledge of the Mac is very basic and any suggestions on where to learn more on OSX (whatever version it might be!) would be appreciated. I live in the Dordogne, France having moved out of London just over a year ago. I still work in the UK and consider my move to France as one of the best things I have ever done! With regard to recent posts on Mac & PC's , I also have a Dell Inspiron which I originally bought when I was planning to use a Light Phase back and I would warn potential PC notebook purchasers that many of them (including the Dell) do not have 'true' Firewire. Proper Firewire, according to the IEEE1394 protocol, included a power supply from the notebook to the appliance, thereby negating the need for a separate power supply for the device. Unfortunately many manufacturers have decided on behalf of the consumer that we don't really need this and are therefore selling a 'pared down' version without power. Check this out before purchase, rather than finding out some time later as I did - no refunds were offered. On the insurance issue, I too can recommend Glover & Howe. I have been with them for quite a few years (10+) and have always found them very helpful, but my policy does have a 'left unattended in the car at night' exclusion. I would also like to know what substance members recommend for cleaning notebook screens and flatbed scanners.
