Sean,
if you get a Starbuck's card (just put $5 on it) and use it to pay for an item, you can qualify for a starbuck's acct, which gives you 2 free hours of internet a day.
you just need to use your card 1x a month.
Maybe I've always been here.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I got my Pizmo powerbook working somewhat again. It's been down since the F2f in Madison, when I think it took a tumble and jarred the HDD.
I found an ancient 10 GB HDD I had formatted for a Windows laptop a few years ago, (it was either the 10 gn or an old 850 Mb...) and finally managed to get the Pizmo to recognize a newly-minted install CD of Tiger.
It's a tight squeeze, but it's working. Now if I can squeeze Firefox, and some other basic apps on it, it should work for now.
I lost the driver for the 3rd party 802.11g Wifi card, tho, I may need to slip Andi's Airport card in there to fool it into installing the components, first.

Anyone have any opinions on Filezilla as a free ftp client?

Filezilla seems stable enough. We use it at work for our ftp sites. It can be passworded or anonymous like all good FTP servers.

I've used Filezilla for years. It's easy and the price is right.

I use BlazeFTP and have really liked it. It is free as well. It's just another option, I've never used Filezilla, so I have no opinion on it.

Oh were we talking clients? I was thinking of Filezilla as the server, hmmm...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm looking for an app that generates PNGs on the cheap. Corel Draw is way out of my range.

Well, there's Xara which is CorelDraw like. It's much cheaper than Corel.
I produce my PNGs from GIMP, but, of course, that is just a raster tool.

Maybe I can get this one project done with GIMP...I was trying to use the line features in Photoshop and got completely frustrated--I could have done it in my copy of PaintShop Pro, but that went south in my HD crash, and I can't work out how to get a registered copy reinstalled.
I used Xara back in the day, and loved it, though it was weird. Maybe when I'm working again I'll buy a copy.
Thanks, Gud.
