Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

amych-- thank you. The thing is, I can't get them to open. Is that because my indesign is not the most current?

Oops, nevermind, she has a quark higher than 4.11.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

she has a quark higher than 4.11.

Yeah, that's probably it -- she should be able to save in Quark 4 format, and then you're good to go.

The thing is, I think what we are really trying to do is take business away from her. That is, they want me to be able to update the dates for my paltry slary instread of paying her several hundred dollars. So I don't know how happy she will be to do that!

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

I hate it when clients figure out how to do stuff themselves that we used to bill them for do for them....

Thing is, it sort of sucks for both of us. We used to have an in-house designer who did everything. They replaced him with a person who does no graphic design, but instead runs our programs, hires teachers, etc. and went with outside designers (the same one) for all of our graphic design needs

I was his back-up, so I learned how to do simple things, and I am good at it, from working on the newspaper in high school.

When we get the Quark, I will be doing most of the work, based on the woman's designs. Like, she has done a rifold brochure for us for one program, and I will be asked, not just to update dates, but to change the pictures, colors and text to use it for another program-- which just seems stupid to me, I might as well just design the whole brochure if the only part I am using is the layout set-up of the trifold.

Once we get the correct software, I will be doing his job without any more pa

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

lt's not speedy, but it works. My new Tungsten connects to the web through my cellphone.

That Bluetooth works. But my PC can't see any of its services, although it sees the device.

Graffiti 2 will take some getting used to. "K" is hard.

eta: If anyone can remind me how to have my PC (XP) set up so that I don't hate to tell it in advance to receive Bluetooth transmissions, that'd be great. It used to be that way, and I can't find anywhere to switch it back on.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Ooh cool! That means I can do work from my iBook....

Wait, maybe that's not cool.

(Which I've added to the post, above, making this one redundant.)

Question for those with the 17" Powerbook -- is it too wide to use on a plane in economy class?
