Michael, great issue. I particularly enjoyed your essay on The Contemplative Photograph, addressing an issue very much in the forefront of many recent posts here - why large format.

[Greg Lockrey]

I signed up today....good stuff.

Does anyone have problems downloading the issue? The last two issue have quit with errors about page 60-65 using Adobe Acrobat professional 7. I sent an e-mail. Since I currently use a dial-up line, the download is slow and bailing out after 80% of the way there isn't a happy thought.

I meant to ask, if I sort out a more presentable and very clearly written article, fancy my submission for the Cambo monorail modification? It was to allow barrel lenses on a single lens panel, interchangeable.

[Michael Gordon]

Scott: maybe it's a no duh answer for you, but SAVE it to your desktop rather than trying to open from the link. Huge .pdf files often give me grief as well.

I've never had a problem downloading big PDFs with my current DSL provider... but I sure waste a lot of valuable time trying to remember my password.

I too have been having download problems, similar to yours Scott. I'm saving to desktop and at about 75-80% it seems to load up with an icon on the desktop. Then I get this message,"There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."

This has happened repeatedly for 15 to 20 attempts over the weekend and again tonight. The second issue downloaded fine over a month ago and to my knowledge nothing on my computer has changed. Other downloads seem to work. Maybe it is the size.

I tryed downloading issue one and the same thing happens only at about 95%.

Anyone out there have suggestions?

Gary

I've got a great program for just that sort of thing - it runs both under Windows XP and under PocketPC. It's called Ilium eWallet. I keep all my password, account numbers, etc. in it. That way I only have to remember one password.

I also had no problems with the latest issue.

Michael...

This was my introduction to the magazine. Downloaded and read #3 from cover to cover. Great job. Best online photography magazine I've seen.
