Hi everyone. I have been following the discussions in the background for some time and thought I would break my silence. I have enjoyed reading all the advice and good humor. Yesterday, someone posted a link to an amazing video about Chinese (or possibly Japanese) artists building an unbelievable human pyramid that was about 6 people high! I did not keep the link and would like to share it with my husband. Would the person who originally posted the url please do so again! It truly was unbelievable.

Hi, I bought a new Canon Rebel t3i w/canon 18-200mm lens a few months ago and have really enjoyed using it around town shooting landscapes, people and things in general.

I noticed that Super telescopic lenses w/fixed focal length are really cheap and so are some of the ones with a zoom, like those in the 650-1300mm zoom category. I realize that these are not the lenses that are usually recommended, but think them useful for my purposes, anyway.
They work but not that well. if cheap enough give it a try, really depends on how high quality of a photo you want or need,
What is your opinion on one of those super telescopic lenses? How about one with a zoom like a 650-1300mm?

I got an e-mail from Serif this morning wanting to sell me System Mechanic Pro 14 for $29.00 U.S. I do know that it normally sells for much more than that. I've been having problems with my computer running very slow and, uh, I would describe it as *hanging up* where I can't get the cursor to move where I want it to. In fact at times I can't even get the cursor to move at all. I was going to go to Wal-Mart first thing this morning and buy a new laptop. I had this computer fixed last June for ~$120.00 and didn't want to spend any more on this laptop. So it seems as though Serif had read my mind. Any advice? I'm having more problems than that, but can't speak computer. Thanks a lot to all who reply.
