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.

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

All is well that ends in pizza.
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.
