kopitiam: I can't tell what my laptop screen's temperature is, but I've run the Windows 7 calibration wizard. It used to be colder.

kakz1989, they are just being fanboys and gearheads.
As far as I know photography courses are not about buying gear! It is an ART course.

AR235 will introduce you to the art of black and white photographic image making and printing. You will learn to see and appreciate light in a new way, learn to see and design shapes in the frame, and you will learn how to make fine black and white prints and finish them to the matted presentation. In this course, you will learn how to properly expose film, how to develop that film, and to make beautiful exhibition quality black and white prints. This is not merely a technical course however. The most important thing you can bring away from this course is a new sense of seeing. To be able to have a finer appreciation of light in its myriad manifestations, to discover meaning in images rather than words, or most importantly, how to make images, important and powerful in their own right, rather than merely "take pictures" is the main goal of this course.
