Nikon Capture NX, first look
Capture NX is an evolutionary rather revolutionary product. Nikon Capture just prior to the release of NX was on it’s 4th revision as a raw converter. NX could have been just renamed to version 5, but by using the NX name Nikon made it clear that there was something new in this release.

OT: Posts may be delayed due to My Wireless
As a result of my Free MetroFi connection has change the way they treat my connection with intrusive and always On tracking of my habits which I find offensive.
I have found that they are still letting people on with linux boxes without the need for the MSN Sidebar requirement.
So I am creating a dual-boot system with Ubuntu to work from.
I have the basic system installed and will be tweaking and customizing it over the rest of the week.

Thanks for all the postive feedback I have recieved so far.
