Do you roll your eyes a lot when you quote people? Maybe the keyboard is trying to bond with you.
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

My old keyboard used to do that too. It would be fine if I restarted, but it would pop up at random times. I never did figure it out.

Are any of the other symbol keys switched? I think mine would also swap the single quote and question mark.

Nope, just those two. My first instinct was that it had turned British for some reason, but I'm still set to US English according to that toolbar.
I think I'll restart.

okay, here's my photoshop issue.
I have three photos of different qualities. One is 300 pixels per inch, one is 72 pixels per inch, one is 200 pixels per inch. I need them all to be the same height (with the various widths) I adjust them in Image Size, but then when I try to cut and paste them into one graphic, they are the wrong size. When I try to adjust the ppi to be the same, the pics get blurry, and I don't know how to adjust the blurriness. Any ideas?

Restarted, keyboard is back to normal. That was weird!
Vortex, is this for print or online display?

Vortex, the rule of thumb I've learned is that enlarged low DPI pictures look like shit in print, so figure out what size the 72dpi looks best at (I'm betting it's the smallest of the bunch) and shrink down the others to match.
72dpi is what most monitors show pictures at no matter how hi-res they are, so they may all look the same on screen, but in print it will make a considerable difference.

addendum -- you're probably best off at leaving the 72dpi at the size you got it in. But if you can at all, get a print test of the pictures before you send the pages off to get printed for reals.

Thanks to your advice I got a halfway decent postcard to give out at my event. Really appreciate the help.
