Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness. Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Compassionately intolerant

Both these solutions sound good to me. (And, yes, I just need printoutable)

But this still leaves me with the rtf, for those that can't pdf problemma. Damn this Apple addiction! (I fantasize that live would be so much simpler if I would just quite resisting the Borgpc hardware.)

Once I'm done teaching my class tonight, I'm going to work on finding 10.2 to download somewhere...can't find it at Apple. (natch)

Thanks for the tips fellas!

I'm afeared my puny 128MB won't sustain the upgrade, so I'm back to my need-more-memory problem that I've been handwaving away since the beginning of the year.

Blargh.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I've run 10.3 on 128 MB.

What happens when you print and hit "Print to PDF"? an error?

Also, if you can print to a postscript file, one of us could make a pdf for you until you decide.

If you do upgrade, you also have the choice of NeolithicOffice ( [link] ) better known as NeoOffice. MS Office formats without the Borg.

ETA: Ah, I see, you can do PDF, I misunderstood. Still? What she says next. People who can't read PDFs aren't worth it.

People who you send it to who can't read PDFs?? Silly people. Tell them to download Acrobat, stat!

Beej, what model do you have? Any specs would help us find out if one of us might have ram, or even the cheapest place to get it pumped up.

I'm thinking about getting a DVD burner. Anyone got a good recommendation for one that's not too expensive and that I can drop into my machine with a minimum of hassle?

Thanks.

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

Wow, isn't it amazing what technology can do nowadays. [link]

If anyone is looking fro a good point and shoot. Canon has introduced the Powershot S2, and now the Powershot S1, which is supposed to be a very good camera is selling for much cheaper than it was a year ago. [link]

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Do any Buffistas here have a Sony Ericsson camera/phone? Or have experience with one? A friend of mine just got one and I'm feeling a bit of technolust, not helped that I just lost my PDA. Talk me into or out of it!

I'll also listen to experiences with Treos....

Our wings are not tired

I love my Treo 650. Been working like a charm. Great screen, great functionality.
