Hey, BTW I got a new bike. A 07 Sportster customized by Storz performance. Picked it up Tuesday  So here's a story you might get a chuckle from. I stopped overnite in Cambria on the CA coast, because I once saw about a dozen CA vultures at a bird sanctuary, without a lens with reach. I was prepared this time (200/500 Tamron). This bike is goddamn loud, even tho HD guys say its not too bad. I define loud as setting off car alarms passing parked cars. So I get out of my room at 6:30am to catch the morning light & birds get excited at daybreak. I decide I'll have to walk the bike to street edge or risk waking up the entire zip code. A freshwater creek unloads on the sand then flows into the ocean. Birds like to collect here to drink I suppose. I pull up on this bike and there must have been 500 birds that took off, most didn't return although I waited. I decided this is not a bike for bird watching..... |

Anybody know of any freeware software to completely remove a photo from a harddrive? So a recovery program can't bring it back?

Joe, this one's a few years old but it always worked well for me and its good for any kind of file, not just an image. http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/system/shred.htmLet me know how it works out for you. FYI: In order to be sure the image is truly wiped from the drive select the maximum type of "destruction" the program has available. Beware of one thing though- Short of physically destroying the hard drive (Taking a hammer to the actual platters then hitting it with an acetylene torch for example) you can never be sure the file is completely gone. |

I know I have a program that I have to recover files and no matter what I use to remove it, it always finds it and recovers it. Its doing its job by getting it back I used a program to write zeros to the drive repetitively and it still recovers it.  Least I know if I make a whoops I can fix it. |

One of the best looking Harley's I've ever seen, and the Storz being another. How's it handle? Does it get through the twisties alright? Jeff |

It handles real well. The trail is reduced somewhat by the change in wheel/tire sizes as well as raised an inch or so. It pretty flickable. Its just too loud. BTW this is a portrait of a bike, driven to a specific golf course (without fences or houses). So it is an appropriate place to post it.  |

I have a question for you experienced digital photo types....
I just bought a Canon Power Shot SX100IS
The little 16meg card that it came wit holds 2 pictures if shoot in the superfine mode.
So i bought a 4 gig SD card and like with a lot of things did not pay attention to the note that says only for use in high capacity devices...
What are the odds that it will not work? i have lost the reciept so returning will be a hassle.
Thanks

Very little. I think you'll be fine. I checked Canon's website, and they have a 4gb card available for sale as a compatible accessory. Jeff |

Well, I finally made a decision and picked up a Canon G9 on Saturday. I haven't had a chance to do much with it yet. Took a few pics of my nephews hunting for Easter Eggs on Sunday but that's about it. I will say that I'm impressed so far. It's so much faster then our old Nikon digital P&S and the glass is nice and sharp.
I look forward to spending some quality time with it this weekend. I'll post some pics and opinions when I have something worth posting.
