Paint.net is my favorite graphics program on Windows for exactly that reason - I can give it to my middle school students and they can survive, but it's also powerful enough to do basically anything I know how to do on the Gimp or in Photoshop. Which isn't to say it can even scratch the surface of those programs, but it has layers and can do some moderately cool stuff with them.

I think that sounds like a great fit. Thanks, guys!

Am I missing something in Apple Mail? I can't work out how to advance to the next unread. I have over 15 mailboxes. I don't want to eyeball for the single unread item. TireSOME.

Entirely unrelated, anyone have right-now camera answers? I have a D50 and I'm trying to work out if my lenses will work on a D3200 (Zulily, fuck you). It seems my AF-S lens will be just fine ( [link] but my 75-240 seems to be an AF, which means the new computer won't autofocus.

Anyone familiar with manually focusing on a Nikon? My Pentax had the split image, and especially with lack of depth of field preview, I feel like I'll mess stuff up just eyeballing it. has anyone made that transition easily.

Thankfully I'd keep automatic metering.

If I need to replace the zoom, the discount is less use. My 28-80 and 18-55 clearly won't cover it.

My current DSLR isn't broken--I was going to give it to my sister, as these things sometime happen. But not if it's a dumb deal for me...

What am I failing to consider in this shopping? The sale ends Tues 6AM PDT, see.

Someone's written an AppleScript for it:

You could also create an unread messages smart mailbox.

Thanks, Rob. That's more complicated than it seems it should be, but then again, maybe I'm not supposed to be managing that many mailboxes.

I've created two smart mailboxes, since I can't remember how many rules I have that might move mail out of the inbox but still need to read it--one works by inclusion (all unread in the Inbox hierarchy) and one by exclusion (unread but not in Spam--but I have over 15 of those, so...).

Do any of the Mac Heads know if it's at all possible to get a replacement for the light-grey plastic/resin bezel that edges the split between the top half and bottom half of my Macbook Pro case?

The bezel has broken right above the combo drive slot, near the trac-pad. this has left it with a sharp, pokey edge that pokes into the palm of my hand or into my forearm when I'm trying to use my computer now, making it distracting and unpleasant.

The broken strip also doesn't want to reseat quite properly so I don't think just a dab of crazy glue will do the trick.

Is your battery inside of the Mac bulging?

Is your battery inside of the Mac bulging?

I had to pull it out to check, but no.

Is your battery inside of the Mac bulging?

Does that mean your battery is gonna blow? Because I noticed a crack in the battery casing of my netbook and I was undecided on whether it was bulging too. ETA: Not a mac, obvs.
