I have, after much consideration, just treated my self to a new monitor. A Samsung Syncmaster T220. Beast!

Can't afford a spider. And if you tell me nice blue walls I'll hit ya, virtually.

Wow...That makes my monitor look like one of those really old tvs...you know with the wood finish and the remote controls so big you had to hit the buttons with a closed fist.

Is a spider necessary? And if so, how often do you need to use it. If only rarely then is it not the sort of thing that camera clubs could buy and then lend out to their members (for a fee obviously)

Lovely monitor!

Because we just love being shafted mate. Why is Photoshop CS4 going to be £569.88 over here and $699 over yonder?

It's more to do with Adobe knowing that they can charge more here.

It is an offer well worth considering Gilly, for just about anything. I think it's partly VAT Shirley, we have so many hidden taxes it's hard to keep track, but through direct and indirect taxation we, in the UK, pay in excess of 58% of gross income on taxes. At least that was the figure some years ago, I've stopped trying to keep up, but it hasn't improved, quite the reverse.

We get nailed for tax here too.... trust me! Sad
