You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

That worked for me, too.

The default is that the mouse-over feature is off? That is Weird-ass.

I'm at work now, and the problem is at home, so I'll have to check it out later.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

How about Vamp!Willow?

Ooh, I like. Willow's definitely more badass than Harmony.

Want an iPod with that?

Yes, please. And some fries.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Jon, I'm using Firefox 1.0.3 with WinXP and it didn't work until I enabled the mouseover (thanks dcp). Now it works just fine.

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

My iBook died. It's that problem with the screen that iBooks were having, so Apple should fix it for free. Unfortunatly I will be without its services during the F2F and on the train trip.

What's the cheapest possible laptop I can get that has DVD and WiFi? Or a good source for refurbished laptops?

eta: Maybe this from Wallmart, for $528? [link]

Can you do anything with only 128MB RAM these days?

I'd pretty much just need it for DVDs and running a browser. Maybe Firefox or some other non-IE browser that doesn't take as much RAM as Mozilla.

Still not sure if it's worth even spending $528 just so I won't be without a laptop for a month....

eta: Didn't Walmart have some cheapo laptop that came with a version of Linux?

tommy, that looks to be the same one Wolfram bought last year.

Our wings are not tired

I'm annoyed that Digi won't be supporting the 001 in further PT updates. Is that why you got the 002?

It wasn't the immediate cause, no. Though it does play in, I plan to get a G5 later this year and will need to move to a 002 at that point, though I may buy another one that's not the rack version for that task.

This one is replacing/supplementing one of my mBoxes. I'm doing work in Space Mountain where I need the multiple outputs and the real +4dBu output on the 002, so this one is mounted in a padded portable case and goes with me on site for hookup to my powerbook.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am not even sure I can explain this problem.

I have a graphic that I need print out on labels.

Currently, I am placing the graphic onto a label layout in Microsoft Word.

First, the designer gave me a .pdf for a graphic, but when I placed that it got pixelated.

Now I have both th original Illustrator document and and eps file BUT

the designer has don sort of a strange thing. The graphics are buisness card siz, and he has them laid out as such, but there are graphics hanging over the edge of the business card that he has covered up with white boxes. When the file exports for rps, it exports the white boxes, too, and now the graphic is too small for my labels.

Is there anyway to cut off the stuff overhanging the size I want? Is there anyway to only export the document size? It is like I want to Crop, but there is no crop tool in illustrator. If I do it in photoshop, it just seems to mess up the image enormously.

Help!
