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?

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

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?

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.

If you want them to appear on screen at roughly the same size as they look on the original printed page, then 72 dpi should do it. But if it's a small image that you want to look make appear larger on screen, then you'll have to scan at a higher dpi.
Sorry if this is obvious.

I love Bbedit. I've used it at work for years. It has nice search-and-replace stuff, and you can make it play nicely with Dreamweaver if you're so inclined. I use it for everything from web pages to shopping lists.
