'Safe'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Thought I'd ask here, just in case -- I'd really like to try out Final Cut Express, or Final Cut Pro for the Mac, but I really do sincerely want to give it a try before handing over a great deal of money. Does anybody have a copy I could borrow?
(Or for that matter, "borrow" -- but rest assured, I will legitimately buy the product if I really do like it. Signed, Worked For A Software Company, Is Aware of Copyright Issues, Wants to See Honest Programmers Make A Living )
A friend got approached for a contract she can't handle, and referred me instead. "Referred" is not the right word; she did put major effort into getting me the contract. It seems to me that it would only be fair to give her a percentage as thank you. Decades ago, in a completely different business 3% was a considered a reasonable percent for this sort of thing, but I have no idea what would be standard in the tech business in today's market.
I tried PSP technical support, and they basically said I was SOL with the import of the CDR. At no point did they suggest loading up the trial version of the latest Corel and exporting from there, which is what I successfully managed last night (annoyingly, one of the CDRs still won't open, but I had that image elsewhere).
Anybody have a clue why my laptop would suddenly decide I don't have an airport card installed? I"ve had it for, oh, two and a half years? Computer (powerbook, same age) was freaking out and demanding I restart it, last night, so I left it off all day. Got home, turned it on, worked fine...except suddenly says "No airport card installed". WTF?
I tried to pull the airport card out, but although I put it in, I couldn't figure out how to get it out--the little cord thing that attaches it confused me, and I wasn't sure if I could/should detach it. Sadly, that and restarting the thing multiple times did not fix the problems. GRRRRRRR.
meara, what model is your powerbook?
It's a 1GHz G4.
It's been doing weird annoying stuff where it needs me to restart it--either the "YOU MUST RESTART YOUR COMPUTER NOW" stuff, or just refusing to wake up from sleep and requiring a restart (and occasionally thinking it's 1969 after that). This spring I had to reformat the hard drive three times in about a month. This weekend, it was doing that again (requiring restart after about 5 minutes of using it) and I was sore afraid....but then it's working fine today, other than that whole lack of acknowledging the airport card.
Here's Apple's page on installing the card: [link]
Some other site suggests removing the AirPortSW.pkg file from /Library/Receipts/ and reinstalling the airport software.
Whoot! I *finally* have the internets at home again. Since I'm reinstalling Firefox, anyone have some must-have extensions that I should be seeking out?
I like Gmail Notifier. [link]
Also, Google Browser Sync. [link]

I have TabBrowser Preferences and Forecast Fox.

HMOG I need that. Thanks!
