    :)), talking of new tech tp, you seem to be the man to ask about photography.....I have a pretty old sony cybershot digital camera, I'm thinking of updating, any recommendations? It's just for normal use, and I'd like the facility to save images on to Google cloud.
    It was either that.....or the priesthood

    Many modern compacts can link directly to the cloud or sites like facebook etc.
    In fact many smartphones these days can do everthing a separate camera can.
    Sadly I'm an old fashioned photographer, I don't use and of these features. I'm
    more a wander round the mountains, looking at interesting walls and old buildings,
    using, light meters and nd filters ........... you know a boring git. :D

    I've got the sony z5 phone and it does have an incredible camera, but I like the idea of a decent seperate camera.

    For a pocket camera, I have a Sony hx60 compact , very small with a 30x zoom,
    ( Very handy for the local tennis club's ladies matches )
    A little bigger but with a DSLR size sensor ( still fits in a jacket pocket ) is a
    Sony A5100 with a 16-50mm lens, amazing quality from a tiny camera.
    I actually don't even own a DSLR anymore as I was so impressed with the smaller
    Mirrorless cameras.

    Ibanez Talman. Anyone want to buy a much used Telecoustic Deluxe? :D

    Excellent, as I'm a big sony fan and pretty much all my tech is sony I'll be following your recommendation, I may even get one of the cameras you mentioned, I lost track there as my mind wandered to images of tanned legs, tennis skirts and.......

    Looks beautiful, now here comes the question I was once asked when as a lad looking for a loan to buy
    A better guitar ....... " And what would this one do, that the other doesn't ? " Bloody philistine ! :))

    I am a Big Sony fan, I regularly shoot weddings with three A6000 and various lenses. They all weigh
    Less than my old Full Frame Nikon with one lens :))

    Got myself a new phone, with a fantastic spec. 2GB ram 16GB memory and can take another
    128GB card with a 5.5 inch HD screen. It's of off eBay, a Chinese make "Homtom HT7 pro" .
    It will be Interesting to see how it performs and all for £65. :D
    It feels really well made, metal with a removable plastic back, but solid no squeaks .

    I had an Ovation for many years, passed it on to my son now. I don't play electrics (apart from bass, of course) but my lead guitarist swears by Strats.

    Seems Samsung is in trouble again, as even the new replacement Note7 phone is still
    Overheating and catching fire !

    Just wondered has anybody upgraded to Mac OS Sierra and experienced any problems?

    I am going to hold off for a couple weeks until any minor problems have been solved -{

    I'm running sierra Rob, no problems for me {[]

    Anything good in Sierra?

    Siri doesn't understand me regardless so I switch it off.

    Copy and Paste across devices sounds handy but there must be more to it then that :D

    Amazing! I imagine one day you'll be able to print your perfect woman, or man.

    Maybe a bit of both ? One half for romance ( with a bit of cooking and cleaning)
    The other half for talking Top Gear, sports and the off side rule. ;)
