Change of plans.

Got a quote back from a Hong Kong site on the Canon 400D Body + Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 Lens for approx $1,500 AUS.

Camera House gave me a price of $2,049 for the same...

Regardless of current price conjecture....I too will be purchasing the 400D this month. I'm heading to Hong Kong in October and had planned on buying it while I was over there. Unfortunately,...

Not according to their website. With both lenses the price is $1649 (not $1499)

Indications from the US are that the Canon 400D (Rebel XTi) will sell for approx $899 US with the 18-55mm kit lens. This converts to approx $1210 AUS.

I haven't seen pricing in Australia as yet...

Brillaint idea John....for using screwdriver mechanism on the router.

I used Sketchup to produce many variations on an Awning that I wanted built for my house. By using the 3d "walkaround" capability, the final product was easy to visualise. I then gave the final...

I have an XR6-Turbo. The handbook advises that you can use either "regular' unleaded, or "premium" unleaded....as it is tuned for both.

I have had the car for approx 18 months and have mainly...

I remember on one occasion against Australia or Sth Africa, the players from the opposition team turned their back on the Haka.

They got absolutely smashed, and will never turn their backs again....

Fotunate enough to get a copy of this speech....could explain a few things.

One man boys….that’s all it takes.
A leader…..someone for the team to follow…..doesn’t even have to be the captain....

Evil....can't help you with the wood-working question....but tell me....did you and the blonde woman stay married....or is the sherrif still hunting you down.

I really felt for you when the wolves...

Sister-in-law has a BA Futura with "dual fuel"...she has not had any issues but has only had the car for about a year (bought it 2nd hand)

I always remember it like this :

Red / bRown = active
bLack / bLue = neutral

Measures ????

Often open to debate. Most PC magazines mention that you should remove the power cord from the wall socket to ensure you don't get electrocuted. However, I believe that it is best...

We've never met Mick, and the only reason that I know of your misfortune is that we share a common interest in woodworking and hence the reason why we both access this website. However, I'm sure...

Glad you enjoyed it Christopha....I don't think she'll be buying me any more tickets in the future though.

For Christmas, my wife gave me a couple of tickets for the 2nd 1-Day Final at the SCG. I was pleasantly surprised at first, until I noticed where the seats were.

Bay 14 – Concourse area.

Now...

Yep....what him say

While avoiding the legal implications, if you receive a DVD that will not play in your DVD Player ( Region 4 ), and have access to a PC with DVD-Writer....you can download a free copy of DVD-Shrink...

Without knowing what application you are using.....is it possible to import the final picture into Word. If so, you can create a watermark using "wordart" and then adjusting the contrast of the...

More info required. I have used XP's Movie Maker 2 program (downloadable from Microsoft, or often on CD's supplied on front of PC Magazines ) to create the slideshow movie. Unfortunately, from...

Just came back from a 10 day holiday on the Gold Coast. Stayed at "Sandcastles" at Labrador....just North of Southport. It is around the bay area....not the beach. Gives you easy access to all...

On the XR6 Turbo Forum there has been much discussion in relation to drivers using their fog/driving lights in the middle of the day. I think you will find that a lot of fog/driving lights require...

Macca2....it obviously depends on what you want to achieve. For some, building a computer is a hobby. You may not save much money, but you feel a sense of achievement ( much like woodworking ).
...

Go the 1/2 inch. Some routers ( eg. my Makita 3612 ) come with a 1/4 collett as well. however, if you go 1/4 inch router, you'restuck with 1/4 bits.

Smmee2......C'mon....nothing wrong with the Bib & Brace. Lets you wear shorts or whatever underneath and a suitable T-Shirt. Who cares how you look during classes....you said it's an all girls...

I am often annoyed when the same type of event occurs over a 20 year period and as soon as the Government tries to do something ( or suggest doing something ), the media and general public refers to...

Yes, you're probably right Dan. But financial issues aside, I thought it might be the most effective deterrent of all. I also realise that some people "simply stuff up" but again a careful word...

Sat down with Son and Wife last night and discussed the options being put forward by Govt. For every option put forward, we came up with a reason why it wouldn't / shouldn't work.

I now put...

What Bazza said.

Also, you can select an option of creating an "image" of the original disk first. This will burn it to you HDD and then allow you to make multiple copies to multiple CD's if...

....or just replace the original CD ROM with the new DVD Drive.

Sorry Boys....I don't think there are any guarantees.

No. 1 Son got his licence in February of this year. We gave him my wife's previous car ( Hyundai Excel ) and expected him to save and pay...

Spend the extra $$$ and get a DVD-Writer. These are getting cheaper all the time and can still be used to write to CD. You can now get the "DUAL-LAYER" DVD Writers for under $200 and "Single-Layer"...

I appreciate the encouragement guys but that's some damn fine cutting you need to do. ( Must be hard to slow down the circular saw :D )

Maybe something for me to try in the future.

Also....if the fine is excessive, put on the Triton dust mask and take deep slow breaths.

Bad luck if the calibration stickers fall off.

Are you serious ??? A good pattern for a beginner ??? :eek:

I have'nt even begun and if this is a sample of an easy one, I'm not likely to.

Must say, I wish I had the ability and patience...

No, Seriph1....you're the bloddy genius.

Is that what S-I-L meant :confused:

I'll bite....

What some call double standards...others would call facts of life.

There will always be differences in the way men and women are perceived.
This is reflected in the pay scales...

Still have 2 x Wolf Electric Drills as supplied by my previous employer about 20 years ago....both still working strong, but could do with some replacement chucks.

No matter whether it is tools, electrical products...whatever. The salesman who spent the most time telling me about the product and demonstrating it, will always get the final option to match any...

Let me pre-tense this with the following :
240V very dangerous.

Now that we are passed that, all I am saying is that the PIR activates the light bulb or flood light. If an electrician was to...

If all you want is an indicator that the outside light is on, run a parallel cable from the light socket that is activated by the PIR...and plug in another light bulb. Less messier than fiddling...

Obviously, you could go the full hog and have door and window sensors, but in my humble opinion....some well placed PIR's is all you need connected to the main unit.

When selecting a Control Unit,...

When you want to save files to a standard CD ( not Re-Writeable ), you have an option in your CD Burning Software to make the CD a multi-session. While this is enabled, you can continue writing to...

Simon C is correct

Sir Stinkalot

The multimeter can be used to test for several things :

Continuity
Checking to see you have both ends of the same wire, or a working fuse, using the Resistance or Ohm settings of...

After a bushfire had burnt out in the Blue Mountains, the Police investigators were going through the area.

During their investigations, they came across a "diver" in full scuba gear.

a towel....my turn....when I think of one

A man lives on the 23rd floor of a high rise apartment.
Every day he takes the lift to the Ground Flr and off to work he goes.
