On a pc, you could run msconfig and turn it off that way - I assume there's some parallel process for the iBook.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know how to phrase this question.
I have an image I want to streak. If you imagine a selection with a raggedy right side, I want the right hand side of the image to be motions streaks of the selection itself. Does that make sense? Like you've dragged it across the canvas.
I have Paintshop Pro, Gimp, and Adobe CS3, and speak the languages in that order of familiarity.
OK. I gotta go put memory in my Powerbook.

There's a Blur tool in Photoshop, ita. I'd try copying the picture layer, then either use the Blur manually OR use the Filter effects, there's a whole set of blur effects, which includes Motion, IIRC. Then you add a mask to that layer, and either have an abrupt dividing line between the blur and the clear portion, or else put in a gradient black-to-white on the mask so that it comes in gradually.

Will that allow me to effectively drag the right edge of the image along the canvas?

Oh! Another tech question (maybe two).
I finally got a reasonably-priced DVI/HDMI cable and tested it on my Powerbook. She quickly realised it was a dual screen situation and set the TV up as the second screen. I fired up VLC and opened up an AVI. Just gorgeous. But when I did did they key combo to full screen it, it full-screened on the laptop, not on the TV. I could get it to 2x size and manually place it on the TV screen, but the best I could do in full-screening to the TV was to set the monitor situation up to mirror and full-screening on both. Is there a better way?
Also...the afore mentioned RAM upgrade. I have the tiny wee screwdriver to get the panel off the base of the unit, looking like the very screwdriver from the example, but I can only get one out. The other three are very recalcitrant.
Is that the best screwdriver to use? I feel leverage-free.
