I've got an Ixus 850 - I bought it in Hong Kong when I was on my honeymoon as my old V2 was playing up. It's a good camera and having the wide angle lens is very useful. The pictures come out pin sharp too. Well worth the money.
When we had Sky+ installed the bloke made such a mess of getting the cables from the dish to the box that when he got his drill out and said something about drilling through the wall to the phone point I said no way! Instead I told him just to leave me a long cable and I'd fix it in permanently...

There are so many types of job that come under the...
We have two offices in the UK - Gerrards Cross (near Uxbridge) and Cambridge. HQ is in Florida - last time I was there I had a meeting on the beech! :)
This is the reason I use GoToMyPC - no hassle setting it up, messing about with port forwarding etc. It also supports sound and disconnected sessions and runs over port 80/443 which means I can always get to it no matter what firewall I'm behind (some places block the RDP and/or VNC ports for...
