Woe, woe and thrice woe
Nightmare.
Our intrepid hero was taking over the world, grand stylee, courtesy of Civilisation 4. Seriously, my culture rate was through the roof - I was taking over entire cities without having to send a single unit into battle. Trust me - in RPG terms?..this is, as we say, Way Cool. Unfortunately, the map was getting on the straining side of busy as far as my RAM was concerned. And I thought I had a decent amount of RAM, you know.
And the laptop hung. And hung. And hung.
So, I did what any red-blooded male would do. I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del.
Nothing happens. So I hit it again. And nothing happened. So I forced it to turn off and got black screen restart black screen restart black screen. Thought 'fuck' and had to use recovery disc.
Up shot it, I've lost a Lot of photos. The coos are, thankfully, on Flickr, but I lost all but three of my Florence photos.
Like I said - Nightmare.
...
That said, I have now learned how to use no fewer than five of the twenty-one buttons on my camera (not including the jog dials or focus wheels), so - on the whole - I'm still fairly cheerful.

Learn this:

It's the standard entry for wikipedia followed by whatever word or collection of words you want to look up. I just tried it for some stretching terms and it seems to be working. Let me know if you find any that don't, do. And, no, you don't need the http://

Have a good one,

Maybe, before you learn too many more buttons on the camera, you should concentrate a little bit on learning how to back-up and burn to disc. Just a thought.
Hmmmm, and would this count as an ideal excuse to revisit Firenze so you can take more photos? You Numpty!
