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!
Buffistechnology 2: You Made Her So She Growls?
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
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
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.

Microsoft Remote Desktop Client for Mac OS X
Lets you control an XP machine on your network from your Mac running OSX 10.2.8 or later.
Suspiciously free.
Ooh cool! That means I can do work from my iBook....
Wait, maybe that's not cool.
It's suspiciously free.
(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?
Hmmm, don't have one, but here are the specs for size, it might help for the visualization:
17-inch model
- Height: 1.0 inch (2.6 cm)
- Width: 15.4 inches (39.2 cm)
- Depth: 10.2 inches (25.9 cm)
I'm okay with visualising the laptop (I was at the Apple store yesterday). It' been longer since I've been in a plane, though. You wouldn't happen to have standard widths of the trays, would you?
