if you have X11 it should be in your Utilities folder.
It's there. But double-clicking on it does nothing I can see. And that version tells me I don't have X11 either.

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

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It's less feature-ful than the Gimp, so it might not be what you need, but take a look Seashore.

connie,
if you print that infrequently, you are going to run into problems with most printers. Inkjet dry up if they don't get regular use - at least in my experience. And by regular use, you should do 3 or so pages a week without fail.

One thing that minimizes drying up. Turn the printer off when not in use.

I'm in the same boat as Connie. Looking for a printer for once-in-a-while printing. I'm thinking about a low price HP or brother laser printer. About $100. Laser printer ink doesn't seem to dry out like inkjet does.

good to know. I do usually anyhow, just to save electricity. But yet another reason to.

Hubby's wondering if storing an ink cartridge in a ziplock in the fridge would extend its life.

I wonder if the fridge would cause clumping or something. Ziplock might work. Dunno.
