Thanks to all for your advice! I would have responded sooner, but that day job I mentioned in passing has gotten rather crazy over the past couple of months. I'm counting the days until I can pass off that baton.

GBU all.

I am retiring from my day job soon and I plan to spend more time on my photography. While I still have a full-timer's income rolling in I would like to acquire a new computer, monitor, and photo-editing software. Anyone out there have any favorites or suggestions in those areas? PS. what's the word on the Zoner Photo Studio software (the paid version)? Thanks in advance.

On several occasions I have, for future reference, photographed new irrigation lines that would soon be covered up. Also, photographed the markings left by the utility markers prior to digging.
