Re: Font Book question: does it do like iTunes and copies? - 17 years ago

Good thread. But I'm unclear: it appears, from the article that johnc pointed out, that the latest Tiger Font Book (v2) does in fact leave all the fonts where they are, and makes copies and places them in its iTunes-like folder. In the article, he states: The new Font Book has some @#$%& going on. It will open fonts from anywhere on your drive and KEEP THEM THERE. Aiiiight. Now we're talking.

Re: Adobe CS2: possible to save for a CS1 owner? - 17 years ago

Based on recent personal experience, I can pretty much guarantee that this is not going to work well. A number of CS2 features either just don't work (in ways that screw up your design) or can't be edited in .inx docs. Glad to get verification. We've been trying the export command for the last 3 hours, and it's been nothing but grief. She simply can't open anything I send her. She gets either

Font Book question: does it do like iTunes and copies? - 17 years ago

When adding fonts via Font Book, does it duplicate the fonts you point to, similar to iTunes and iPhoto? Or does it simply point to the ones you're wanting opened, and therefore you shouldn't move those fonts.

One teeny request to next rev of Tiger - 17 years ago

Re: Buh Bye Panther. Hello Tiger! - 17 years ago

Your Pismo will run fine with Tiger. Mine has been with 320MB RAM and 4O Gig hard drive. The rest of the specs are stock. I find this just amazing. I haven't a clue about coding, but I think it speaks volumes to those who wrote Tiger. I had a similar 'wow' moment when a friend showed me the speed of Tiger on his G3 tower.

Re: can't find my d*@m-blasted ms office install disk but want to install tiger - 17 years ago

The only downside to this method (Archive & Install) that I can see is that the Previous System folder is very large. Its size is dependent on the existing Panther system currently occupying the drive. You will need something less than double the size of your current system in order to do this. No argument about the value of A&I, and it generally works. However, if there is any corrup

Tugger, were you able to apply what you learned? I was. I earned my money back, but it was a short run for me. I played the GoogleAd game for 3 months. I finally figured out that I wasn't cut out for that kind of marketing. I think you have to have the kind of brain and personality that gets excited by spreadsheets, and has the stamina for analyzing things, and loves doing split tests, etc.

I have no association with the above link, but I did take Perry's workshop last year, to the tune of $1500, to learn how to do GoogleAds. I did a lot of research before choosing his system. I found it very useful, and his style straightforward. If you're wanting to get into GoogleAds, and were thinking of getting the new MacBook Pro, this could be a good deal. If you're not, ignore the pos

I have two HDs in my G5 tower. At 4am, the Mac automatically turns on. At 4:10am, SuperDuper dupes the two drives. Once a month, an Entourage Office notification pops up and tells me to back up to an external FireWire drive, which I pull out of a burn-proof safe. Four times a year, another Entourage notification tells me to burn the last 3 months of Docs onto CDs and mail it to my brother in T
