Xplus has a whole suite. DrawPlus. It has brushes and a text tool. Never looked at it so not a rec.
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Thanks, le n. I have texted her that information, I guess we'll see what happens.

Hey. New board.
Pixelmator definitely has a text tool that will let you make some words bold and others italic. I just played with it. It seems like a pretty great program.
You could probably e-mail them and potentially get some extra evaluation time. The software isn't cheap (I got it in one of those big Macrumors bundles with like 15 pieces of software for one price) but it is quite nice.

Hey. New board.
According to this, though, Acorn's text tools are even nicer. I've never actually used Acorn.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Acorn looks sweet, but I'd need to work out how to get a demo copy (and actually evaluate this time), because even though it's the cheapest of the ones that site rates, cheap it's not.

Sometime ago someone suggested a router that was not expensive but really a smart router in that it would prioritized low-latency requiring traffic like games or voip. Was it Gudonov or Gris who had a specific make and model.

You're looking for a feature called QOS or Quality of Service and a lot of routers support it these days.
This is the router I have which supports it, isn't very expensive, has gigabit ethernet, and a USB port for attached storage.

Does anyone use one of the free texting apps? GroupMe, Kik, etc? I'm trying to find ways to reduce my phone bill.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My go-to reflex for free texting (to the US and Canada, anyway) would be Google Voice, since it doesn't have any sort of ads or anything. Most of the ones I've seen mentioned on Lifehacker or elsewhere complain about apps or ads.

Astrid users, is your web interface working today? I'm getting a funky error and it's now telling me no tasks are due today. Whoot! Except I know it's not true.
