Hmmph. FFView doesn't like me very much. Shouldn't there be a way I can double click on a cbz and have it come up automatically? And it starts with the last page (and then continues to the first), or at least it has these first three issues.
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

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

I look more rad than Lutheranism
FFView isn't big with the double-clicking on the cbz file to open it; that only seems to work when I haven't opened the application yet. Otherwise, I have to use the File menu (or the keyboard shortcut) to open a cbz.

Now, now I need a text editor -- one with syntax highlighting would be good, but it's mostly FTP open and save I need. A Mac version of UltraEdit or Crimson Editor is what I'm thinking of.
Any suggestions?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
A lot of long-time Mac users swear by BBedit.
I use Emacs, though, so what do I know.

Thanks Tom (and Steph, for the FFview). I'm grabbing the 30 day version right now.
I also grabbed Panda for the main box. Not only is the version I could find a 30 day eval, it's desperately chatty.

BBEdit has syntax highlighting and FTP/SFTP file opening. Highly recommended. It has a 30-day demo.

Hey. New board.
TextWrangler, the free lighter editor by the people of BBEdit, does everything I need. Make sure you need more before dishing out the green for the big guy.
It appears to have FTP open, though I've never tried it out.

There is a usenet group I still get info from; the server does not quite meet usenet standards. (The date/time field is the wrong length or some such.) Something got frelled in a post, and I can no longer read it via thunderbird newsreader, though outlook newsreader works fine. (Basically in thunderbird, the frelled post shows up as the last post, nothing posted thereafter downloads, whereas outlook is able to skip the bad post and move on.)
So I need a new free newsreader, non-ad supported. Any thoughts?

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Xnews is excellent. Takes a bit of getting used to after Thunderbird or Outlook Express but is worth the effort.

Strawberry disappointment.
So, if I was scanning images to be used in a power point presentation, what resolution would I want to scan them at? I was thinking 72dpi.
