I think I remember this from a LONG time ago, but I still got them all right. So the little grey cells are still working.
So I can continue writing a little program to display some very personal data of things that were never a problem when I was younger. (A lot younger)
if you need to ask what - look down, then get a mirror. I hope you don't need any more clues!

Or not!

Someone seems to have had an injection of sense.

Well nearly!

Apparently University of Easy Anglia (UK) has banned the throwing of mortar boards in the air after graduation on "health and safety" grounds.

They also want to charge for "photoshopping" them in to the photograph.

We also need it on this side of the Atlantic, considering what we're going through at the moment. Trouble is we don't just need one!

I've now worked my way through everything I can find that talks about setting any kind of default. I hope that should sort it out.
Now I'm trying to find just how many programs the upgrade to W10 has removed quietly.
So far I found ccleaner and my AV software (Webroot). When I found M$ Security Essentials running that got me checking things out. And windows.old didn't have them in it either. This could take some time!

I am using Thunderbird. So it's the 'default' that's been causing the trouble.

I HAD set the default to chrome but when I just looked it wasn't set, so I've done it again. Let's hope that sorts out the problem once and for all.

I've just made the transition to Windows 10 and it all seems to behaving itself at the moment.
However, one thing is annoying. I'm sure there will be more but this one is relevant here.
When I click on the link in my mail client to see the UHH site it opens in Edge. I prefer to use Chrome as my default browser. I have changed all the file types that have Edge associated with them, but I can't see how to do that with the UHH pages.
When I look at the UHH URL it doesn't seem to have a type.
How can I sort this out?

No way, been there, done that. Never again. Been using SLR's for about 30 years before the transition to D.
Not going to look back, I will tame this beast. Depends on how many years I've got left.

Yes, I know that, but I think the main question hasn't been answered.

Why does the camera NEED a pop up flash?

Still getting to grips with the D7200, and one thing suddenly stuck me.
Just WHY does a DSLR need a pop-up flash?
I can understand P&S cameras need a flash as they may not have anywhere to put a speedlight of any sort.
I ran a pair of FE's for over 25 years (!) and if I needed it I used a 'real' flash to get the result I wanted.
I can remember using the pop up on both the 5700 and the D90 provided I was close enough to the action but the result was really only 'so so'. I was using a photo shop's own brand for a while but was not satisfied with the result, so |I got an SB900. That sorted the problem out.
But still whatever the mode that pop up will pop up for no obvious reason. Its a pain when you have the aperture/speed to your liking and that happens! As far as I can see it's not supposed to do that. I can't find anything in the menu to stop it popping up, what have I missed?

?

and I finally realised (after reading all about it on the Hog) just how good it was compared to my D90.

Started trying to be a bit more creative, working on that as well.

Maybe if I can come up with something really good, I'll post it!

They said there were two PCB's that were faulty, so it wasn't the shoe itself that was the problem. They also quoted $390 to fix (and service) it.

As I said, after due consideration, it just wasn't worth it.
