Our wings are not tired

Maybe gmail doesn't like the fact that the file extension is more than .xxx in that pages documents are .pages on the extension. Might be worth a try to change that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Your Pages "document" is actually a folder with a bunch of smaller files inside. You need to zip it up first or something.

Hey. New board.

Yeah, Pages is weird. Its documents are really folders (neat side note: Mac applications are ALSO really folders, filled with all the support files and stuff. 'Swhy you can install just by dragging for most programs.).

If you need to print it, export it as a PDF first. If they need to edit it in Pages at the other end, you'll have to zip it up. (ctrl-click the file in the finder, choose "Create Archive")

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm just using the TV as a monitor for the Mini. What advantage does AppleTV have over that?

I kind of want one, but I don't know why.

AH!

Scola, if you weren't on the other side of the continent from me, I'd totally kiss you right now.

No need for editing on the other end. It's just a work invoice that I want to email out so I can get paid.

If you don't already have a mini, it's cheaper?

Gris, you'd totally get a kiss, too.

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

That's the only reason I'm looking at it. The mini I would put there instead would be over a grand. It probably does some fancier stuff out of the box with respect to getting media off of other devices, but I'm sure it's nothing someone hasn't written for the Mini itself in their spare time.

Got it. For some reason I thought ita already had a mini.

So I have no excuse to buy an AppleTV? Good for my bank account, I suppose, but also a little sad.

OTOH, my ancient iMac is wigging out on me so there may be shakeups in the home network anyhow.
