I never got to see Prince and it'll be a sore spot for the rest of my life.

Cool. .I'm currently running the new Affinity inside Windows that runs in a container with @winboat.app under Fedora. It's a perfectly workable solution, but it'd be a whole lot better to have the app in a native version.

Yes. Perfect tart and bite to go with the pb. Granny Smith has a Posse.

Kelly and his advisors have to be looking at the way people are jumping to defend him and realizing that that could be turned into political gold.

They'll regret going after him, regardless. But I think that doing so has increased the likelihood of a White House run drastically.

What's "aggressive" is the technology that fucking STEALS human-created content for profit, AND this guy coming on here to whinge about people not liking that fucking technology. What the fuck did he or anyone else expect?

A related observation: Satisfaction with birding photographically increases with ability to get birds into the viewfinder, and the lens in the most important element in making that happen. I'd rather have good lens on a crappy used body than the other way around.

I suggest focusing on the lens first, then camera. Cameras come and go, but glass is forever...and for birding, a suitable lens will likely be the bulk of your cost. One can usually attach a range of cameras (cheap to $$) to a given lens...look to which lens first, then choose a camera body for it.
