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

No, but I'm not using any plugins, either.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I haven't seen any of them either, and I have several extensions installed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've had the problem a lot where I click on the address dropdown box and select a web site, but nothing happens and I have to select it again. On both Mac and XP. I do have about four or six plugins on each of my computers with Firefox.
Haven't noticed any of the other problems. It seems to crash about as often as it did before. I haven't really watched CPU usage while loading a web page.

I've seen the task manager problem and there have been some times with the CPU usage spiked, but they don't happen very often. I have 12 extensions installed. I can't decide if I like the Pimpzilla theme or not.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I currently use slightly-less-than-legal versions of Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and Quark. In an effort to clean up my act, I'm going to take advantage of FAQ Wife's academicness and get discounted, but fully legal, versions of the software.
Questions:
- If I get InDesign, will I miss Quark?
- Is GoLive a substitute for Dreamweaver, or do the two complement each other
I'm thinking I'll just get the Adobe CS2 package, but maybe also get the Macromedia add-on, even though I'd mostly just use Dreamweaver from the latter (I'm not Flash savvy).

Huh. I'm surfing the web and watching CPU usage on my work XP machine (two point something Ghz, 1 Gig RAM.) Firefox does take more CPU than I think it should. When I go to scifi.com (which always has a shitload of animated graphics which pegs the CPU usage on my G3 iBook), the usage on my XP box is still averages around 70%. It seems to average around 30 % on IE 6.0.

Can someone help me with PDF creation? I'm printing to Distiller and can't not get rid of the JPG jaggies. It's just amping all the artifacts, even though I'm doing everything I can to not compress the images. Is Distiller the problem? I'm pretty sure my home machine will print to PDF without Distiller, but I don't have this option here.

I'm assuming you've already set image quality to "maximum."
How many DPI are the images? If the pdf is being created at a higher DPI than the original images, then they'll look jagged.
