"McAfee has blocked your computer from making a potentially risky
connection"

I still got the picture but it seems as though somewhere along the way
you may have picked up a parasite. ?????

Nothing to do with the image in question.

In the race of bloated, computer clogging waste it's hard to keep track
of whether Norton or McAfee is worse.

I'd suggest you remove McAfee (which can be a painful experience) and
install AVG free.

Or better, get a Mac.

Which is all very well, but does that explain why clicking on the URL
you supplied caused my computer to go seeking not only the picture but
some other site to which McAfee objected?

I didn't supply the link, but I can view that image via that link,
download it and all there is is the image. (Not that one would want to
see it again).

It could be McAfee distrusts dropbox (there was a security breach there
recently).

Oops!

It wasn't you who supplied the URL but Tony Cooper. My apologies.

McAfee is probably a "web prude" and objected to the subject matter presented.

Sounds good.

Bummer.

but I did finally get insurance money so hope to be back in
the game soon.

At least there's that. One advantage is one can make the most careful
list of gear in one system knowing all the pluses and minuses of every
bit of kit.

Have fun shopping!

Does the ins. co. give you a cheque or you spend to budget? (A friend
of mine was given a budget (for computer eqt) and failed to spend it all).

Plus I let my giganews account slide so am posting from GG, which is
inefficient to browse...

To say the least.

In that case Apple failed.
Apple probably only functions within the iTunes Store in a pointless
effort to keep the kiddies pure.

Its not the Drop Box conection, I've been using that quite a lot in
both directions with no problems. It looked like the standard McAfee
reaction to being directed to a suspicious site.

Does it still do it? Can you provide the links or a screenshot of what
happens? I'm very interested in this.

A check to spend as I wish.

I'm hesitant to go hog wild on the idea of super-high res lenses for
a D800E sans anti-aliasing filter. It wouldn't be any problem buting
lenses to kill the budget with that criteria with Zeiss primes,
etc... I'd be happy with another 12MP D700 but I really do want to
play with video so D800 it is...

Frankly I'd go long on glass. There will always be more bodies.

In the mean time I got an EM with series-E 50/1.8 pancake and a roll
of Ektar 100. I'll try to get a 'road' shot on that...

That'll do. You got 'till Sunday night to get that developed and scanned.
