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.

Gar, Illustrator and Photoshop both have a specific "Save for Web" option under the File menu that lets you tinker with size and stuff like that.
You can also tinker with stuff like DPI when you set up the file in the first place.
I'm sorry I can't be more specific or offer to help -- my computer with those programs is still in the shop!
