DSLR Canon or Nikon or ????
Good Morning, I am in the market for a DSLR camera, I have had a Fuji bridge for the past few years now and while I love it, I am finding more and more limitations and wish I'd just gone straight for a DSLR in the 1st place. Although at the time it was the cheaper option and I wasnt really sure how much I'd use it (Mother…

Can anyone recommend a Password Manager? I have tried to install LastPass but, with Vista, it's a fiddly thing to do and I would like something more straightforward. I mainly would like it for everyday (non-financial) websites. Thank you.
