I broke my left arm a few years ago and I'm left-handed. I tried to use the mouse with my right hand but it was a hopeless task, however I bought a tracker ball mouse and this was much easier to use with my 'wrong' hand. I would recommend one if you are in the same position. I still use the tracker ball occasionally when I'm using a graphics tablet - saves having to put the pen down when I want to whizz the cursor over to the second monitor. I was recommended by several people (one a nurse) to take a calcium tablet per day - it's supposed to help heal the bones. Of course, whether it made any difference or not I'll never know but it certainly did no harm.

I've just taken delivery of this Powerextra kit - two batteries and a double USB charger for £24.99. It seems to have mostly good reviews and for 25 quid it seemed worth a punt - certainly the charger will be handy in the campervan. Off to Scotland soon so I'll report on them when I get back.

Thanks Bryan. From a 35mm transparency taken on the 31st Dec 2004 and it's the first time it's sold. An example of why I never cull 'non-sellers'. And I've still got that hat...

Thanks once again. Yes, it is via Alamy.

I thought I'd missed the boat - the March issue is now on the shelves and I couldn't find the February issue. However, I was able to download a digital version from Pocketmags (£3.99) .... https://pocketmags.com/digital-camera-world-magazine/february-2019 Incidentally, and pedantically, the magazine is actually Digital Camera World... BTW - the March edition is offering a free copy of Filter Forge 7. No, I'd never heard of it either..... https://www.filterforge.com/features/

Thanks Bryan. Also used on their twitter feed, sadly illustrating an article about the two climbers who died on Ben Hope a few days ago. Top class climbers apparently, one of them a former president of the Scottish Mountaineering Club.

Under Filters.... 'Attributes' - scroll down the list, 2nd from the bottom.

The 'non-exclusive' filter tick-box is now available.

I clicked the 'Send me my data' button about three hours ago and when I checked just now it was already available for download - brilliant. Just to be a little pedantic - it generates a CSV file, not a spreadsheet as such. Which is actually better for me as I want to import the data into IMatch.

In science a theory is not "only a theory"...... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_theory

Yes, I read your post but I thought I would mention it again to emphasise the point...

I think all mine are already marked as exclusive but what would be useful would be a 'not Alamy exclusive' option in the AIM search filters. This would make it a lot easier to find any I might have missed.

Good point - it probably does.

er..be careful... Section 17.2 of the contributor's contract... Contributors shall be responsible for maintaining original and digital back-up copies of all Images submitted to Alamy and will provide replacement digital copies to Alamy on request at any time.

Just a thought - maybe they were uploaded by alamy staff to test something.
