That's not the issue atm - It's a problem burning them to the disc I'm having. Are you sure the DVD drive is writable . . and not a read only one

I'm surprised I found America VERY expensive for equipment. Bought my gear on a deal for £350 and they were like £500 for the same gear. Okay so Atomic is made in Austria so you'd expect the prices to be fair in Europe but as pretty much most ski gear is made in Europe America was always going to be expensive. In fact everything skiing from lift pass, food, equipment was well pricey. Just so glad we had a friends house in the mountains FOC. If the $ was 2:1 like it was a fair while ago then I can agree prices could be better, but America has to import everything. Thats surprising Ian, I think we spent perhaps $350 on gear, which is about £175. If you go to the Shop in Whistler then yes things will be a bit more, plenty of places not in a ski resort to pick up the bargains.

Welcome

Congrats on your new purchase Looking forward to some pics

Have fun, snow boarding is great Before you buy any gear I would first see if you like it, if so book a winter holiday to the US or Canada . . then go shopping on your first day there. With the exchange rate you will get everything at over 50% less than what you would pay in the UK Most sports places here have last years stuff already on sale, so thats even more of a saving if you don't mind being seen wearing last years fashion

Great work Darren, rocker cover looks just awesome

Have you enquired about upreving it ?

looking very nice Graham

Lexx's was a 2008 as well

Anything and everything Sir Dave is in is just excellent

Getting a MBP with Retina so 2560x1600 and the 34' is 2560x1080 LG have bought out a fancy curved one as well . . but thats whole load of extra $$$

Thanks everyone. I guess I will have to go have a play with one in the shop. I already have two 24" monitors, one for Mac Mini which I am getting rid of and one I use for work (plugged in to laptop). I just figured I could get rid of both and have one . . less is more type thing. Agreed that it may be a bit small, will have to see. you can get a 34" version as well. Any bigger than 34" would be too big for what I need IMO

So I have just got a new laptop and am looking for a new monitor. Anyone got something like this..... http://www.lg.com/ca_en/monitors/lg-29UM65 The split screen function and dual link seem pretty cool. Thoughts?

Welcome

I have a Penguin Pups Swimming certifiate somewhere

OK then, Bronzee - because I fancy cruising round NZ in a Zed . . and she will know all the good places to go Leon - to help with his Jag might get an update sooner Ricey - just for shits and giggles I would also like to add Nixy as I know how much she likes Clowns

Well done, perhaps you should change your name to Hong Kong Fuey

Southern softies If we have to go out our comfort zone and spend a weekend with someone we haven't met - for me it would be these two - or SMD or Doogy - I couldn't choose Am spending some of this weekend with our Paulie - one of my besties who I would never have met if it weren't for this place most welcome Vik

Sounds like a great weekend So if I am not allowed to pick the usual rabble (they know who they are) Then my choices are Bronzee , Leonk and Ricey

Canada . . end of discussion
