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!
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

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

Thanks, amy. I'll give it a shot.

OK, my vcr is dying. I just use it to record stuff (programmed by me) when there is a time conflict. I don't need to save anything for posterity and don't usually have more than a couple shows in backlog. I don't want a subscription service. What are my options that are pretty much plug-it-in and no mucking and cheap enough that just buying another-soon-to-be-obsolete vcr is dumb? I do enough mucking for work.
