I just purchased the new Canon Rebel XTi which is a 10 megapixel SLR and the pictures are amazing. My point and shoot is seven megapixel and it doesn't come close.
Also, the low light pictures I can take with the SLR are amazing.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

I have a Canon Rebel XT, and it has been a fantastic camera.

I had been planning on getting the Canon 30D and ended with with the XTi because in many ways it is now a better camera than the more expensive 30D.

That's what i really miss between my old film SLR and my little Canon P&S digital. I can't quite justify shelling out a grand for a digital SLR right now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So my 2 Gig of RAM for my MacBook showed up today. I'm gonna set up the MacBook so it can run OS X and XP at the same time. So I gotta decide if I want XP Home Edition or XP Pro. I found this:
Multi-processor support - Windows XP Pro supports up to two microprocessors, while Home Edition supports only one.
So for this purpose, is the Intel Core Duo considered to be two processors or one?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
For this purpose, I believe it counts as one. I just went out and looked and there are plenty of Intel Duo Core laptops and desktops shipping with XP Home for sale. Seems like you'd be good to go with Home.

Yeah, I was googling and noticed that. I also just read that XP SP2 added multi-core support to XP Home.

Ah. That could explain it.
Funny thing, back in the day there was an article I read that gave you registry hacks to turn XP Home into XP Pro. Apparently Home still had all the code for Pro, it just had certain functions turned off.
Nowadays I would imagine that's probably not so much the case anymore.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I gotta admit, from the little I've worked with home, I like XP better. Though they are much the same.

XP Professional is a superset of all the features of XP home. Mostly it's extra network functinality in Pro.
