Hi Mark
I usually use Firefox, but will not let me on. For backup I use Google Chrome and will give me access.

How do you work that out???

Cheers

Yes Stephen, the camera is fantastic. Many thanks to you organising it for me.

I attached the 100 - 300 lens from the original Pentax SLR and hoped there wouldn't be too much handshake. The owl ( a juvenile powerful) was quite a long way up the tree and it was an overcast day so I am happy to have a few which are reasonable.

The quality of photograhphs compared to a compact digital is much improved even for the 'snapshot' type pics I usually only have time to take. Have bought a tripod and am packing it for our trip to Eyre Peninsula and West Oz. Leaving next week and very restless. cant wait to get on the road!

Regards,
Heather G

Geez Mark

Everybody knows if you want your Puter to work fast you have to feed your Mouse more, just can't have the little bugger sliding around on it's mat with nothing to eat or drink, take me for instance every now and then I accidently spill a bit of tucker or beer and WHAMO the Mouse is into it, can't go into the Key Board because I have a plastic cover over it, and another thing, my Mouse is not tethered up to the Puter, I let it run free, nothing like having a Mouse on the loose, I have a name for it, I call it REMOTE.

David,

when I was having trouble with the site, yesterday I think, it took ages and ages to do anything then produced a message which said: Server Unavailable, or words to that effect.

I'm glad I ain't too scared to be lazy

That error can occur when I am compiling the site code. I do this a few times per day usually and in fact just completed one a few mins ago - these errors should only last for around 30 seconds as the compilation completes. Thanks for letting me know.

No site problems here for weeks/months been brilliant.
IE7 as usual runs a dream its all those crappy freeware programs that try and block adverts and stuff that always seem to have issues. :-)

Agree and it is interesting that the majority of problems we get are related to aggressive security software programs. However a few times a day I compile the site code to install new features and functions this can cause around 1-2 mins of performance issues and strange errors such as Server Unavailable whilst the server does it's thing. Anyway thanks for the positive feedback, there are really very few problems with the servers but they do happen.

I also wonder how often some people may clean out Temp Files, cached stuff, Cookies etc etc.
Or undertake software upgrades for the various Adobe, Microsoft Programs etc such as Flash etc which this site in particular being so interactive needs to operate well.

They also may have the security settings set incorrectly for their system.

They service and tune their 4wd but don't bother with any maintenance of their computers then complain when it does not work or run properly.

Just my thoughts and I seem to have almost no issues running the site??

Cheers
