    LOL, I included the Latin name, because it adds another dimension to the search engine information, anything to attract new members.

    That was taken with my little Fuji S5000, was the only camera I had in the van.

    The sheer friendliness of the site and the helpful comments that are made should have prospective members banging on the door.Heck Toots wouldnt go anywhere near the internet until she join the site,now I have to stand guard over the door to stop her getting into the computer room

    Just upgraded my RAM in the old laptop, for the same reason, doubled it to half a gig and now Photoshop works at a reasonable speed, as does Olympus Master. Would like to go to 1 gig, but I would need to swap out both modules.

    Is that for laptop memory Chocky? It needs to be SO-DIMM, which is a more compact DIMM (Small Outline - Dual Inline Memory Module) and normally more expensive.

    Adding RAM on laptops is normally very easy, simply unscrewing a small panel on the bottom, took a couple of minutes on mine. What make and model is yours DD.
