Never to be forgotten, my love of photographing airplanes still lives on. I spotted this one heading out for the long run down 34L at Sydney Airport this afternoon. On closer inspection (viz other pictures) this plane was one of the dirtiest I have seen since the days of the old Alitalia DC-8's at Sydney during the seventies.

The marks left on doors one and two on the port side, from the air bridges made it filthy. There also seemed to be quite a bit of lubricating grease marks on the fins as well. Time for a bath in KL I think.

I dropped by Botany Bay this afternoon to see the power boats in action. These things are so loud. This one i particular was as loud as a propeller driver aircraft, and very quick too.

Acer Notebook PC - Aspire 3683WXMi

I bought a new notebook PC yesterday and it's fabulous.

For $950 I got exactly what I was looking for. Several months ago this same class of machine would have cost me three large or more !

I am posting this now via a wireless link to my main machine in the compueter and media centre at home, whilst watching TV in a recliner chair. This is a dream and a classic case of not knowing really if you needed the machine until you actually got it.

I definately needed this !!
