Knuckledragger Posted April 13, 2010 Report Posted April 13, 2010 FWIW, I have upwards of five card readers. Two FW400 CF readers, two USB umpteen-in-one card readers, and one USB SD card reader (so I can read sodding SDHC cards.) I've purchased two others; one I gave to mum, and one I think my old housemate nicked when he moved out. When I get a new Mac desktop, I'll probably get an FW800 CF reader as well.

Salt Peanuts Posted April 14, 2010 Report Posted April 14, 2010 I didn't even think to look for FW400 CF card readers. I really should have gotten one of those seeing as I still have a FW400 port sitting unused (assuming my iMac doesn't kick it).
Elephas Posted April 14, 2010 Report Posted April 14, 2010 You got the EL34 cheap, didn't you, because of the "Shita" branding! Don't tell me they're 00-getter, I can't stand too much jealousy. I received a Dell U2711 monitor today. I've been using dual Dell 2407 for a long time, and wanted something bigger. Originally I was thinking of the Dell 30" 3008WFP but it is an 'older' model and I ordered the newer 27" instead, hoping I won't regret it. Well, now that it's here and I'm using it side by side with one of the old 2407, I regret not going for a larger monitor sooner. This thing is very nice. The extra screen space over the 24" is a big difference. Text sharpness and colors are also better. I still don't know if the 3008WFP would've been a better choice. And given the large screen real estate of the U2711, I'm questioning the need for dual monitors.
Salt Peanuts Posted April 14, 2010 Report Posted April 14, 2010 Flickr pro account for a year. Mostly because I'm too lazy to keep fiddling with the software to keep the files under the size limit when converting from RAW to JPEG.
Salt Peanuts Posted April 14, 2010 Report Posted April 14, 2010 use Aperture, it does it automatically. I take it you're still liking the software? I need to remember to download a trial version now that my iMac issues have been resolved.
Knuckledragger Posted April 14, 2010 Report Posted April 14, 2010 Salty (and anyone else) I got these: 2-PACK Lexar Professional Firewire CompactFlash Reader - eBay (item 380224418443 end time Apr-23-10 19:48:04 PDT) They were $40 for two when I got 'em, they've come down in price.
Salt Peanuts Posted April 14, 2010 Report Posted April 14, 2010 Thanks for the link, Knuckles. Just bought them and it'll nice to have one each for iMac and MacBook.
shellylh Posted April 14, 2010 Report Posted April 14, 2010 After the Astros started off the season at 0-7, I decided that I am probably going to need to watch some other teams this season so.... I bought a premium subscription to mlb.tv. Guess I might as well get the mlb.tv ipad app while I am at it.

Knuckledragger Posted April 14, 2010 Report Posted April 14, 2010 Pass Aleph P 1.7 preamp (again, though this time I actually have it ) Sexy. I was considering one of those when I was in the market for a balanced Pre in late '08. I ended up going with an AR LS9 for a bunch of reasons (some rational, some financial, some AR-fanboy-based.)

Aura Posted April 15, 2010 Report Posted April 15, 2010 I've used the same desk/book case combo for about a year now in my bedroom. It's really sturdy, but be extra careful with the desk, the finish is not at all resilient to scratching. Otherwise good choice 'Vark .

ronnielee54 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Posted April 15, 2010 Not a damn thing since I just sent off 700 bucks to the state of Arkansas for my taxes. This is in addition to what they already recieved from me throughout the year. Fucked up year for taxes in my house.
