I really like this one Frank. Great framing and composition. Nice contrast. And of course it's a pretty picture of a girl and her dog. Good job. Paul - Original Message - From: frank theriault [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 6:26 PM Subject:

PUG Comments for January 14

Winter has set in with avengence here. Woke up to -23C, wind chill of around -30C, and I'm thinking, well, it can't get much worse. Then we got 4 to 6 inches of snow during the day. And, tomorrow, we're looking at a ~high~ of -20C (I know, you guys from Out West are thinking, You eastern

only in science fiction. you can't make a lens that can stand that much magnification and there is a fixed amount of thermal noise that can't be gotten around. Herb - Original Message - From: Chaso DeChaso [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 1:01

OT: ID a photo; Settle an Argument

Someone here must know this: In the early 60's (maybe '61?) Life Magazine published a famous photo of a boy hearing for the first time. The look of joy and astonishment on his face is unbelievable. My roomate and I are at loggerheads. She says he's hearing for the first time due to a new

OT: Cotty, have a beer on me

Hi all, I've finally done it. My brand spanking new G5 Powermac arrived today. I bought the single 1.6GHz version as NZ mac prices are somewhat higher than in the US (that's called an understatement). Why did I switch? Well, 10 years+ of using PCs is probably all I need to say :) The
