Buying a Digital Camera?

Been a long time since I updated the blog...and received a nudge from one of my friends today. Thats the reason for this post ;)

Anyways...heres a nice link for someone who is looking to buy a digital camera sometime in the near future.

I already have a Canon Digital Rebel XT - highly recommended from me for some serious photography. Canon also has a nice set of tutorials to get started with the camera.

The Presenter's View

I have not seen many people use this cool mode in PowerPoint. I used this for my thesis presentation and thought might be useful to be put it here.

PowerPoint 2002/2003 has this extremely useful mode called the "Presenter View". This mode allows one to set-up the laptop (or a desktop with two video cards) to show the presentation on the monitor/projector the audience can see, while it allows the presenter to see notes view, small thumbnails of the slides and a few other useful options too. More info here or type "presenter" in the PowerPoint help file.
