Some of you might have read that I was trying to build a server using
the free Ubuntu Linux system. The server was meant to be a box in my
basement that's used for file storage and back-ups. Well i think I got
it all working yesterday and started a full back-up in Photoshop

One of the things my new printer does is scan. I haven't spent any time

We've had a lot of discussions about photographer's rights. I was on

As we know, the K10 implemented some measures to keep the sensor dust
