in this time and age with the advent of digital photography, a pc/mac is an integral part of the digital photographer's "tool kit".
What's wrong with advertising mac or pc in this forum???
I bet most DSLR users would bring along a mac/pc laptop in their travels in size/weight/cost are in their favor.
mac/pc should be considered and important photographic auxilliary equipment.
get it into your head first.. to prevent unnecessary outbursts like what was observed.
Believe that this is still a ClubSnap website, not ClubIT or ClubDigitalSnap website... :bsmilie:
Please think abt the situation as a whole. If we should allow PC and Mac system to post in the main Buy & Thread, then follow on would be Harddisk, RAM, VGA Cards, Keyboard and Mouse... reasons, because PC and MACs eventually still need an upgrade as technology advances. Then comes a day when you tried to sell your camera for an upgrade, but would not be able to reasons being, the Buy & Sell Forum will be crowded with IT people looking for cheap deals rather than a fellow photographer who can appreciate your gear. Not to mentioned the difficulty in search for your camera post when all is crowded with IT stuff.
Do bear in mind, almost 98% Singaporean Homes have a PC and less than 8% Singaporean homes have at least a SLR gear and is fully in use. So with this ratio, we can convert the website to ClubIT in less than a 6 months!!!
Hope you understand that, my bombards on such thread is for the good sake for the majority who can appreciate the services given by this website and the clubsnappers communities.
For info, I've bombard a total of 2 of such posts yesterday in the Buy&Sell Forum, so far only 1, which is this, have been moved to the Kopitiam forum, whereas the other still remains in the B&S forum. Thus this shows the limitations of the Moderators here... not blaming them as they have done a very good job so far :thumbsup: , but do understand that they are just humans who needed sometime for themselves also, can't be 24hrs on the screen.
Therefore I strongly urge the support of the majority to vouch and sound the right ethics to those few inconsiderate fellows.... :nono:
