The Olympus introduced the PEN EM in 1965 with the first automatic advance, but it was only in the market for a year before production ceased. [link]

I'm pretty sure most 1962 photographers would have electronic flashes, not flash bulbs. IIRC, it was into the '80s before many non-sports photographers had autodrives. The sound of a press conference in the '70s was a lot of cameras going shutter click, wind, shutter click, wind.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So really, all you need in the play is a character named "Camera" who says, "Shutter click, wind, shutter click, wind."
It's possible that, had I been sober, I might not have posted this....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm looking for graphics apps for the Mac that aren't Photoshop. It seems there's a Gimp, but I can't see how to make it work. I downloaded from Sourceforge, but it tells me I need X11. I have X11--I've used it to play FreeCiv. And of course now when I try to run FreeCiv nothing happens, so I suspect I'm memfaulting on something obvious.
Help?

Hey. New board.
Here you go ita: [link]
No need for X11 with that.
That said, if you have X11 it should be in your Utilities folder.

I'm looking for a printer that may get use of a page a week if that. What would be a good one where we're not going to have to replace an ink cartridge after every tenth page?

It's there. But double-clicking on it does nothing I can see. And that version tells me I don't have X11 either.

Okay, found my problem:
Oct 11 21:10:47 Cass crashdump[338]: X11 crashed
Oct 11 21:10:47 Cass crashdump[338]: crash report written to: /Users/ita/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/X11.crash.log
and X11.crash.log says:
Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.6.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11
Reason: image not found
Not that that tells me what to do next. I guess I gotta hunt down my install discs. AGAIN.

Hey. New board.
Really? Gimp.app doesn't open X11 in a window and doesn't pull up an X11 toolbar. It looks just like a normal Mac app. Maybe it uses X and is magically invisible... cool!

And I can't find a Tiger disc anywhere...maybe it's time to buy Leopard.
