    I have a Job Interview

    Good advice from Chris and Kev. Prepare and then prepare - find out about the company, show an interest in what they do and any future plans and before you go make a list of questions about the company and the job. Don't ask about holidays, sick benefit until they offer you the job. A good...

    The end of Photoshop CS

    If I wanted to upgrade all the time to the latest version forever then the CC pricing does look attractive but the calculations forget that when buying the software you own it therefore there is a residual value of the software.

    Canon 5D MKIII official owners/users thread, anything related to the 5D MKIII

    Just checked it has 1.1.2, will upgrade as no one is shouting "DON''T DO IT" Thanks for your help, normally never worry about it and just upgrade whenever I think about it but someone I know was fretting about upgrading their mk3 as had a bad upgrade experience with a 7d. Cheers again.
