Does anyone know if the iLife up-to-date comes as a fully boxed edition, or is it simply a DVD?

I have been told it's an fully boxed edition, crosses fingers.

It's most likely NOT.

^^^Nice.

What is T4.5?? I'm not familiar with Sony lens nomenclature.

It sounds like an interesting lens.

This lens is designed and made with one goal in mind: To render the out-of-focus areas of an image (widely called bokeh) as smoothly and aesthetically pleasing as possible. To achieve this goal Minolta engineers have used a special "apodization element" near the main aperture.

All other up to date DVDs have just been the drop in type DVD where it comes in limited packaging. I doubt it'll be a retail box. Then again, I'd prefer it to just be a digital download ... that's just me.

I got my up-to-date copy delivered a few minutes ago. It is a DVD in a sleeve with installation instructions. It is not a retail box.

I bought this used off amazon last week for $40 since there was no way I was paying $70 for a mouse; it arrived yesterday in perfect working condition. I know many people hate this product, but I personally like the scroll bar. I use it all the time in iPhoto and on webpages and in the finder. I like the clean look of the Mighty Mouse as well. I also didn't want to have a USB dongle to plug in, like most third party mice.

Yeah there is no way they'd give the full retail box for a variety of reasons. The main one being people paid $10.00 for it. The other is resale is harder that way; or they'd like to assume. I'm sure people can easily sell the drop-in for a profit.

You really should take advantage of the Euro/Pound ridiculousness.

It's incredible really. I was home in Ireland over Christmas and went up north to Belfast to pick up a new Macbook Pro, and saved a third on the price with the exchange rate. Over the holidays there were queues of traffic to get into the bigger towns just over the border

Internet shopping isn't as handy though, it's more regulated so usually I have to pay a euro price.

Camera arrived! Looking forward to playing with it over the weekend.

I call BS. Everyone on the up to date program gets a drop in DVD.

I loved using a 135mm on an older Nikon F4. What a beautiful portrait lens really. What will you be using it for?

Shots like these;




It's quite a different lens... details here --> www.the135stf.net
Know mostly for it's bokeh qualities...

A new toy! I just scored an Acer Aspire One (160GB hdd/1GB mem) with Windows XP from CL today, and have been playing with it most of the evening. I'm actually quite surprised at how responsive it is; I don't think my full size laptop at work does this well (granted, it's an older Gateway). I don't expect it will run multiple apps well at all, but it does fine with just one app open. Even Acrobat Reader opened faster than I expected, and it is notoriously slow.
