I have Paint Shop Pro 8 and 9. I'm thinking about getting PSP X, but reviews
(including short user reviews) of this new Corel version have been very
mixed, to say the least. Some reviewers regard it as superb and the best
version of PSP ever; others say Corel has ruined it and X ...

I am upgrading to the Nikon D200 and my husband wants to buy it for my
birthday (in 3 weeks - the big 40 egg he was trying to surprise me, but

I really don't know what lens to go for.  Why couldn't Canon have made the
24-105 with a 2.8 aperture?  It would have made my life easy.  Now, after
