I have opened a support ticket, but haven't gotten an answer. How long have you been awaiting an answer? I can't say it strongly enough...this is ridiculous that a company does not take care of this sort of thing right away

It's nice to know that I have something in common with Steve Jobs, no matter how little. Yes, he explained it in his 2005 Stanford Commencement Address (page 1, message 3). He said since he had dropped out of college he didn't have to take the required classes so he took something that interested him. He said ten years later it came back to him and led to the development of computer fonts. He said it a lot better, but that was the gist of it, I think. Here's a link if you want: http://www.ted.com/talks/steve_jobs_how_to_live_before_you_die.html Thanks for the link Charlotte...couldn't place where I had heard that.

  12. Fooling around at the photo studio above the FC hangout
  13. In any store that has animations (I like Vista, don't have an LM at the moment but you can find them in search) always go to the section that is advertising AO's...You can purchase a full AO already loaded or stand on the pads and cycle through each one individually and purchase seperate the ones you like Have fun...

By the way if anyone loves horses a cool new ap for IPAD thats free "My Horse" ive been playing with this week. He's an Appaloosa I want an iPad so bad....

As a home computer user, I have never been much of an Apple fan, although I do own an iPod Touch and an iPhone. But I've worked in the print and design industry for almost 20 years, and nothing short of Gutenberg's invention has ever revolutionized this industry like the Macintosh did. It was Steve Jobs' WYSIWYG approach that started it all. Computer systems that can handle multiple fonts predate Apple computers, but WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) was something new. When I started to work as a typesetter and reprographer, text and fonts were processed on specialized Linoytpe computers, and typesetters didn't get to see the final layout and fonts on the monitor. Images were either reproduced on giant repro cameras or with vastly expensive drum scanners. Like the text layout, the reprographer had no way of previewing the final image on a monitor. Needless to say that photographic color correction and manual image manipulation were a pain in the tush. Not to mention the tedious work of manually assembling photos and text in all four colors, creating a print-like color proof, and starting all over if the customer wasn't satisfied with the result. The pre-print work was often a greater time and cost factor than the final print and manufacturing process in those days. Then came the Macintosh, and with it came DTP software like Aldus PageMaker and QuarkXPress. Steve Jobs had not only created a computer that displayed pretty fonts, he had created the first computer for designers and artists. I think it's safe to say that he invented what came to be known as desktop publishing. Printhouses and graphic design agencies that adopted the Macintosh as the first WYSIWYG layout system were soon rewarded with Photoshop and Illustrator, which could not have been developed on any other computer system at that time. Photoshop ushered in the rapid development of high resolution flatbed scanners, which were originally nothing but expensive toys, and delivered the final blow against the room-filling, overpriced repro cameras and drum scanners. For the first time in history, it was possible to do all layouting, photo retouche and design work on a single machine and preview complete pages with color images on a computer monitor. Moreover, customers were now able to do the complete pre-print and design work at home and save huge amounts of money. Until then, even the import of floppy disks with ASCII text was problematic due to the vastly different systems and file/disk formats. As far as I'm concerned, this is the single most important thing that Steve Jobs did for the world. His idea of introducing WYSIWYG typography to the world of computing revolutionized entire industries. It would have happened without him eventually, but probably much later and not on a single all-round computer platform that was not only adopted by the pre-print industry all over the world, but also found its way into many households. Thanks for that, Steve. You were the Gutenberg of the 20th century.

  16. Yea...I think they are always busy doing something with inventory, etc or AFK a lot. I've never had one speak to me or seen conversation between themselves...doesn't bother me in the least, I ignore them. ETA: spelling
