You need a fifth choice. Keep using Adobe's products but continue to use versions you purchased and own the license to use outright and have no plans to use the cloud. That's my choice. I have the CS5 Master Suite and am a beta tester for LR5. I won't pay no cloud fee even though I have close...

Yes, that's quite a film. Personally I think the conclusion is flawed, but it's still an interesting film.

Two things: 1. Use an older version of the software. 2. Shoot film.

What's a photographers vehicle? Whatever you've got. Quit dreaming about what you don't have and go out and shoot. This thread has lots of cool trucks but the more you spend on the vehicle the less time and money you've got to go and photograph. If you care about the photography...at all...

No 4WD VW's anymore, but I have a 2001 TDI Golf and a 2005 TDI Passat Wagon. Would love to bring in a TDI Syncro Westfalia from Germany!

Two things: 1. You married a keeper. What an awesome woman to want to share that adventure with you. 2. You had an awesome adventure. So glad that you cut your teeth in such an amazing part of Utah.

I had a FREE 300TD sedan...complete. The 5-cyl. motor even ran well and I decided it would be too expensive. This will be fun/interesting to watch. Good luck!

Oh I dunno...that Coleman has drink holders! I don't know if there's a particular 'way to go' on your first canoe. Just get whatever feels right knowing that you'll be able to sell it for pretty much what you put into it.

Those paddles are way too long for a canoe. They are designed to be used on a Stand-up Paddleboard....IOW, you are standing on essentially a surf board and using that looooong paddle to move around with. The length is 52 inches and won't work for you. See if the seller has any paddles...I'll...

That is a perfect starter canoe. Take cash, offer him $300 and have him throw in some beater paddles. I think it's interesting you and FAW3 have memories of the aluminum canoes being hot. I learned to paddle in northern Utah and only remember them being cold. That's a sweet little Old...

Some thoughts: Aluminum canoes are cold as sin when you're sitting in them. Also, if you're fishing they transmit the tiniest noise into the water very, very well. Also when you bang against the sides when you're paddling (occasionally we all get sloppy/lazy), it's loud and broadcasts across...

Apparently they are prone to 'shorts'. Please act accordingly. I cried when I saw the photo.

That is the first Montero I've seen that made me want a Montero. Dang, and in Portland too...we could come up and see friends if I was in a purchasing position. Good luck with the sale!

IIRC the G4 vehicles were staged at each continent separately.

Sweet gooey goodness in this thread.
