Oh, the quarters get sent directly to me. Isn't that in the user manual?

Should I just send you, like, a twenty, to cover a whole bunch of calls? Is it extra for long distance?

You'd better send me a $100, just in case. Small unmarked bills, please.

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

GoDaddy's Domain By Proxy not as secure as you might think -- the article explains that it's pursuant to the terms of service.

Do any Mac users have recommendations about image editing software?

At least at first, I would mostly be using it to make icons, so I want something on the cheaper side.

All is well that ends in pizza.

LemkeSoft Graphic Converter is worth every penny. [link] The shareware fee is $30.

Perkins probably already has that -- I do -- I think it came with Tiger. Is there a PSP analogue for OSX? Graphic Converter didn't strike me as that.

Since I haven't used PSP on the PC for several years it may have gotten more elaborate.

Either way, I do a lot of the basic functions of photoshop on GC, and only fire up Photoshop when I have ten minutes to brew some tea while it loads. (My computer is very old).

PSP is pretty complex these days. For icon-making it's mostly the layer and blending that I don't remember from GC that Perkins might find useful.

I use Photoshop Elements, which is about $80 depending on where you buy it.

[eta: It's $69.99 at Amazon right now.]

Thanks! I will try the Graphic Converter tonight--I do have it, but I am not sure it will do what I want it to. If not, Elements sounds good.
