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!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Also, I can't get to Astrid today. I had some weird connectivity problems a minute ago and had to release and renew my dhcp leases. Is it a vestige from that, or is it actually down? If it's actually down, I am looking askance at Yahoo.

Why can't you keep using what you have?

I can until our publications department upgrades-- I have to use either what they are using (Adobe Indesign) or Publisher in order to use the templates. I was able to convince the IT department to give me Indesign because it was less than $200 and I have been using it for 5 years.

I am assuming that you can't use templates from the cloud on 5 year old Indesign.

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

And you can't "save as" to an older version?

You can't in InDesign 5, which is what I have now. I have no idea what they will do with the cloud thing

Well, wouldn't you be in trouble no matter what they upgraded to, subscription or purchase? I mean, if you're not getting the license of the new version, you're SOL somehow.

They will upgrade me with just InDesign, because it is inexpensive (I don't have the whole suite). But I can't imagine they would pay $29 or $39 a month for me to make posters when the other people at my level use word and publisher

Oh, now I understand. I thought you were getting old version castoffs. But you don't have to pay for the whole suite--you can still pay for just one tool. I think the prices flatten out (why bother get Elements if Photoshop rental costs the same?) so it might be pricier than before, but still.

Oh- that is the part I missed- I thought it was a flat fee for all programs.

Coding and Sleeping

I love the people who make Start8. It's the first thing I installed on my new Alienware work computer.
