Yep, I got a new PC. Unfortunely it's not a mac like wanted but the costs were prohibitive and I couldn't afford it . I'm running XP Home SP2 with 2 Gb RAM, 2.19 GHz Athalon 64 dual core chip and it runs so smothly, it's like gliding on the wind. I decided to be a good boy this time and not pirate Photoshop this time (excuse: too damn expencive) so I am using the Gimp and Paint.Net (which is actualy very good). I also run Lightroom for my primary photo work and Blender for 3D as always.

Now I am back at school, I am taking photography as a subject . What's realy cool is that we use a real darkroom as well as the digial one. Because I will be shooting on film I have aquired a couple lenses for my Pentax (film) SLR. A 85-205mm zoom and a 400mm telephoto (this one weighs a ton). [link] I also found a medium density gradient filter in a box while rummaging. Now all I need is a macro and a wide angle lens and i'm set.
