Re: Lenovo Computers
I don't remember Lenovo being one of the Chinese vendors the IBM PC Company used. When I was working there all of the Chinese vendors were based in Taiwan. IBM's home/consumer Aptiva line was sub-contracted to ACER. The IBM PC (the commercial line) was still manufactured/assembled in the USA. Lenovo acquired the right to use IBM's name on their PCs for 5 years after they bought the PC Company in 2005. Expiration of those rights are why Lenovo started putting their own name on their products. IBM had great technology, but their marketing business plans for the PC Company sucked. There was always an inherent conflict between the PC Company IBM's core business - mainframes services. The PC Company always ended up as the red-headed step-child. On 2/13/2014 6:07 PM, John Coyle wrote: My suspicions were aroused when IBM dropped Lenovo as their Chinese manufacturer 9couple of years ago?), and Lenovo started manufacturing and marketing under their own brand name. IBM generally has a good reason for such actions! In Australia, the law is that the retailer has responsibility for repairs to defective items - and , IMHO, a keyboard should last more than a year or so, so it was defective - 'not up to purpose' is the legal phrase, I think.

Eventually, I was able to get Lenovo to extend the warranty to the retail sales date, so I took it in to the shop where a bad keyboard was diagnosed.

Re: OT: Lenovo Computers
I also have a Toshiba Satellite, and I'm pretty sure it must be at least as old as yours. It also came preloaded with Windoze Vista, which I never quite took a shine to. It came with two hard drives 160 GB 240 GB, which I've subsequently replaced with a 500 GB a 1 TB drive. It has the 4 GB max memory that has been a problem ... or at least an annoyance. Under Vista I had 3.5 GB usable memory. I installed 64-bit Windoze 7 so I could take advantage of ALL of the installed memory, but under 64-bit Windoze 7 I only have 3GB of usable memory. Something in hardware or bios makes it allocate that other memory to video even though the video sub-system has its own dedicated VRAM separate from the main memory there's no where I can find that lets me tell the computer that I don't want to use main memory for the video subsystem. On 2/13/2014 7:17 PM, Mark C wrote: I have a 7 year old Toshiba Satellite that is still running well. The dual core processor and 4 gigs of ram are good enough to support Photoshop CS5.1. It's taken its licks over the years and the pins that hold the top cover/screen down broke off when I dropped it a few years ago, but otherwise I have no complaints about the machine. I'm not a fan of the Vista OS but aside from unduly long bootup times and the annoying habit of disabling the USB ports after downloading updates (re-enabled on the next reboot) it is OK. My wife bought a Toshiba 4 or 5 years ago and it has also held up very well. When I go to get a new laptop someday I'll check out Toshiba - I'm not current on whether or not they are still good.

Re: PESO: Today's Snow
I have been back in New Jersey since Sunday. There is, of course, snow in Hawai'i. On the Big Island, Mauna Kea rises 13,803 ft (4,207 m) above sea level, and has snow every winter. It's name means ?White Mountain in Hawaiian, which demonstrates that its snow cap was there long before the island was discovered by Europeans. In fact, a hiker was lost in the snow on Mauna Kea 2 weeks ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mauna_Kea_from_the_ocean.jpg Muana Loa, also on the Big Island, is just a few feet lower, and can also have a snow cap. Occasionally, even Haleakala, on Maui, which is 10,023 feet above sea level, has a bit of snow at the summit. Three years ago, there was a large patch of snow that we could observe from the beach, where the temps were above 80 F. It disappeared within a few hours, however.

I'm still not sold on electronic viewfinders, my feeling is that the Fuji won't do so well in the studio using modelling lights, but that has become such a small part of what I am doing now that it seems rather senseless to keep pandering to that aspect of my photography. I'll spend a hour or so with the Fuji before I put any money on the counter, at least this is what I am telling myself now.

OT - quality of images on Yahoo News (from Getty, AP, etc.)

Getty is including the Putin images from Reuters as a courtesy to the US Olympic Committee and includes the disclaimer for legal reasons. I don't have any problem with the images you single out. All but the OOF foreground image are standard photojournalism from photographers who don't rate a front row position in the scrum. The OOF foreground image is obviously about the Putin watchers in the background. Didn't someone recently post a PESO here where they used an OOF foreground as a frame to make the background the subject? The last one doesn't look over-sharpened to me.

Re: Lenovo Computers
Sorry to hear your experience, Bill. My previous workplace used Lenovos. All business model ThinkPads, in various sizes and over many processor generations. The total inhouse stock of them was about 40-50 machines at any time. They were extremely durable and reliable. I had three of them myself over the years. Never broke down, just got outdated on processing power. I also bought two ThinkPads for my sons, and the experience there has been the same; both machines have endured the abuse of gaming teenagers. So naturally I'm a little surprised by the categoric dismissal of all things Lenovo, but maybe it's a different story for their non-ThinkPad models.

Apparently, the Lenovo warranty is one year, and the machine was off warranty by manufacture date. Eventually, I was able to get Lenovo to extend the warranty to the retail sales date, so I took it in to the shop where a bad keyboard was diagnosed. The repair depot has now decided that they have no knowledge of the computer coming in to be looked at, and now the warranty has expired. Note to self, do not EVER buy another Lenovo computer.

Re: PESO: Thalia 1900
Thanks, Rick. I played around with various crops and I think you mean something like I choose for the thumbnail of this image on my 500px page, see it here: http://500px.com/attila_b I also like that version, but I kept the top part because of the pattern formed by the dark dome on top, the light areas under the spotlight, and the dark window on the bottom right. I like this dark-light-dark pattern formed by arcs.
