Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

ita, it's associated with torrenting, then?

Huh.

Tom, that is hysterical!

Now, my question.

Do any of you know anything about Quark?

Currently I use Adobe InDesign, and our "real" designers use Quark, so I cannot update their designs any more.

I know with Indesign, in order to be able to really modify pictures/graphics, I still need photoshop and Illustrator. Is that true with Quark as well, or is it all in one, or are their different programs which are more compatible with Quark.

For some reason all the info I find on Quark seems to assume I already know exactly what it does!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Pretty sure -- it's the only sort of sharing I do. If it's about what I was sharing at the time they cut me off, Stargate was the culprit. Since I've already grabbed Spooks, I'm not heartbroken, but I am miffed.

Quark can't really modify pictures/graphics. You still need photoshop and Illustrator.

That's what I though, but my boss seemed to think this would be cheaper because of not needing photoshop and illustrator?!?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Auctions on eBay for used cards without warranties have been closing around $150 in recent weeks for a product that originally cost $100 when new.

Prices are lower at the moment - there's a lot of new cards for $78 buy-it-now. Which I suppose I'll do.

It is annoying, though. My iBook is only 16 months old - I'd think they'd support that technology a little longer. (OK, the iBook has an Airport card, but not my Cube.)

I asked the folks at a local independent Mac store if they'd consider doing some repairs on my Portable. They were all amazed that I owned such a thing. I think they're excited about the possibility of working on it....

move out and draw fire

Cute computer...but I'm still torn between adoring Apple's designs and case-modding my own PC. (Why yes, I am actually an 11-year-old-boy). And all I really want is Internet anyway.
