Any naff pressys???
Just wondered if anyone got something really naff this christmas, I did ok as told everyone we would need canadian dollars as we dont want to cart too much stuff over with us.....but I did get quite a few boxes of choc's when everyone knows I am doing weight watchers. And sloggy knickers......hate them, think they are like tummy warmers. Few years ago did get a large pressy from OH and was so disapointed to find it was a large tool box with all sorts of tools and little draw for putting screws in. Nice one.

Not really naff pressy's but I ended up with two digital photo frames, all very neat in themselves and something I think I can use quite nicely.
But and it's a big but...who the hell figured out what ratio to use for these freakin' things.
Standard ratio for a digital camera is 4:3 and for Digital SLR 3:2 which gives pictures of reduced size 800x600 or 800x533 respectively.
The two picture frames are 800x480 and 480x234 so nothing fits without massive cropping. :curse::curse::curse:
