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

My office uses Whalemail, which is good, but not free.

Coding and Sleeping

Well, I've moved my main computer at home to Linux finally settling on SUSE. My secondary computer is still Windows for recording TV, some games I don't play very often, and for handling CorelDraw projects until I've found a good replacement or perhaps get WINE to run CorelDraw.

Thanks for all the suggestions, people (esp. Consuela!).

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

If I have a non-editable PDF, what are my options for typing stuff over it while on my computer (as opposed to printing it out and using a typewriter)?

I suppose I could open it in photoshop and use the text tool, but that seems unnecessarily complicated. Any (new) suggestions?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Jon, the PDF doesn't have fields for you to fill in? How crass.

My coworkers just fill such things out in pen.

There are a bunch of PDFs I need to fill out. Some are fill-out-able, some are not. But even the ones that are fill-out-able, I've found that there's not enough room to enter my answer, and the font size doesn't seem to be adjustable.
