    I need to get a new computer for photo processing - so what software & PC vs. Mac?

    What are you attesting to? The paper you shoot for does not have a single dual core intel Mac G5. And how did you get Windows 7 to run on a PowerPC chip? You are either really confused or had a typo in your second sentence.

    Under $1000 camera.

    Is focus the only criteria for you shooting at night? What about noise?

    as they say - glass before body

    Since when is the XSi a bad camera in your opinion? A year ago you were touting it.

    Photography & Dating.... who do you consider a photographer...

    Your sarcasm meter is broken. But then again... I was being honestly sarcastic, maybe that threw you off.

    Photography & Dating.... who do you consider a photographer...

    Not looking down on you. Just agreeing that you prob aren't a gear snob.

    Think Tank

    Got the Speed Demon a couple weeks ago and whatever model Lowe Pro makes a competitor. Took the Lowe Pro out of the box and put it back after comparing it with the Speed Demon. The TT SD is a great pack! The LP Sling I have is a great bag too though.

    Photography & Dating.... who do you consider a photographer...

    Are you serious? A 40D, a few point and shoots and a $30 film camera impresses them? What kind of low rent people are you dating? I wouldn't call you a gear snob..... you have nothing to be snobby about.

    nikon lens: 18-105mm VR or 18-200mm VR to pair with a d90 and a complete noob

    Agreed, for you there is no point in fretting about what additional optical quality you will get from using more than one lens. Why jack with carrying more that one lens when the 18-200 will be a better lens than you are a photographer? Unless you want to go out to 450 mm. You are already out...

    FINALLY starting to build a real photo website for myself...

    This statement doesn't exude much confidence. It screams "I am a rookie". Beyond that "street smarts" has little or no translation to anything of value in the client's eyes. If you are sending clients to this site.. you really need to change your whole "passion" statement. Treat it...

    Digital photography laptop recommendation

    Right... my reply was umm.... let's say sarcasm. Never go in there... wouldn't know. My last Mac came from Amazon. Rest my case on saving the argument for the bit heads. I just knew some bit head would come in here and start talking Enterprise IT when the discussion is really on a very...

    Digital photography laptop recommendation

    My fault.. didn't realize you were "very computer literate." Maybe the statement around "getting a laptop geared towards photography" threw me off. Or maybe it was the title of the thread, digital photography laptop recommendations. You are obviously wiser on the subject than I... I didn't know...

    Digital photography laptop recommendation

    Lot of mumbo jumbo in this thread... First... A hard drive upgrade is very likely the wrong answer. My LR scratch drive is a WD Passport. I also keep my catalog files on it. Second...The laptop vs. desktop argument, save that crap for the bit heads. LR runs beautifully on laptops. I am...

    Nikon D5000, Canon Rebel T1i or used Canon XSi

    Flash zipping into eyes isn't a low light problem. It's a matter of learning how to use a flash once you get an SLR.

    Word processor for a Mac to write fiction on

    Yes, I created about 7GB worth of excel files from text files over about a one week period. So yeah.. I have used it.
