At the 2008 Festival of Nations we saw a film about an Austrian school. Like similar movies in Britain it was clearly aimed at parents and teenagers - encouraging students to enroll there. It happened to be very well made and quite entertaining - which is not always the case with such films. The jur...

In the immediate future are systems that create resolutions of 2K and even 4K for amateurs (see the Red camera; Scarlet). Just to save everyone else searching it out, you can find out about this at http://www.red.com/nab/scarlet but the main thing to note is that Red One is capable of recording at ...

We won't be removing any content, just shifting the furniture to let in more light! I love that description! It is a problem all webmasters have ... when you need to re-organise a long-established site people think you have deleted all the old material. When Atta Chui first revamped the IAC website...

Find Mike a violin piece on http://www.efiddler.com/loops.htm ! I too am an Acronis fan - and I usually do incremental backups which I set going when I am about to go out for an hour or two so I don't know how long they take.

Back to DVD burners and software
Back to the topic of burning the DVDs ... I took Stephen's advice and bought a Lite-On DH-20A4P which is purring away happily in my PC.

A new thread on the topic sounds good, Ian. As a couple of the UK computer magazines have reminded us recently, it is fairly easy these days to assemble your own computer. The building-blocks are few in number and there is a lot of standardisation. One magazine got a PC made for £99 - without keyboa...
