Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

It looks like StudioLine Photo Basic [link] might be able to do what I want.

Hey. New board.

Typo she should honestly consider a Microsoft Surface PRO with the type case. It is a tablet and a Windows computer, is quite portable, has generally excellent reviews. The tablet environment is still a little under served by apps, but ebook reading options abound and she could also use the desktop side for ebook reading and so forth. Run calibre directly on it for organization.

My school is moving to Lenovo Helixes, which are more powerful versions of the same idea. They are amazing - my wife has been using on all year and I will be getting one soon. They are pricier than the surface pros but bring better battery life because the keyboard case has an extra battery.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I strongly suggested that. She said no.

Hey. New board.

Okay! Then I vote any cheapest laptop (I think most suck about equally in the sub kilobucks range) and a Galaxy note tablet; the stylus is awesome sauce and when reading pdfs at least you can use the pen to make notes via exPdfReader. Haven't looked for other ebook readers with virtual margins though If a stylus is a no interest point then I'd go with a nexus, probably. But not for any explainable reason - she should look at screens and decide for herself.

Is there a way to run a report on the contents of a folder in OSX? I'm trying to get a count of how many assets we have in a particular folder tree (84 folders each with 2 levels of subfolders) without manually counting each one...

All is well that ends in pizza.

If you right click or command click and "get info" it will tell you how many items are in the overall folder and subfolders.

ETA: It counts each subfolder as one item as well.

Okay, about to start an epic battle --

Need a new laptop. I have an iPad, so it will primarily be used at home, but would like a portability option.

Use is 80% web surfing (watching the occasional video, but might watch more if it were faster), 15% word processing, and 5% other.

The question -- Mac or PC? And why?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I like Macs, but if you're used to PC, then there's not a strong reason to change for what you're doing. iPads play real nice with the Mac OS.
