This is probably a dumbass question, but there is a reason I am a systems analyst not at admin: I have gtalk on my itouch. It keeps telling me login failed and I know I am providing the right gmail username and password (I can get in through a browser on it.) WTH am I doing wrong? It used to work, but I think there have been upgrades since. (This is why I put off software updates, damnit.)

sarameg: Have you tried both (for example) "sarameg" and "sarameg@gmail.com" as usernames?

Yes. Poking around online, I see a LOT of issues like this. I think it is just a bad ap.

sarameg,
have you tried talkatone? I think that should let you login to your google talk acct.

OK Adobe has a free trial of illustrator. Not super user friendly, but a shorter learning curve than R. I made made a pie chart that looked good on the screen. Some of the contrast is poor when printed out full size, and I just have to play with shading on pie segments for that one. Shrunk to the size I want it displayed it looks awful, so I'm going to have think of how to keep text readable when you know it will have to shrink a lot. Any tips on this? Also I think I made it too big. I tried making it a lot bigger than their minimum to allow for problems, but maybe I just should make it a bit bigger. Because these graphs contain little enough info that they can I think look good at a half page, I'm trying to make Tiff file that will look good at both 5X7 inches and at 2X3 inches. I prefer the smaller size for various reasons. Excel version looks fine at 2X3 so I know it is possible. Tips welcome.

DPI is not really a standard you can apply to a digital image, and they're kind of insane to ask for it. TB, do you want to send me a graph in Excel and let me see what I can do in Photoshop? I only have Excel 2003.
By definition, the smaller size will have been resolution.

Second try I got the pie chart working. Had to use really large fonts for the 5X7 (full page) version so that the 1/3rd page version would be easily readable. The giant fonts at full size will, I hope, encourage the layout person to shrink it. Now for the hard part, the line graph. Really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to graphics and desktop publishing. I don't know what about 80% of the menu choices in illustrator do. I'm doing the "just learn what I need from the software today" dance. Once I've met my deadlines I'm going to feel compelled to go back and learn what I'm what this stuff is about.
