Re: Two bids, but price hasn't risen past the Starting Price??? - 12 years ago

Ok I think I get it now! One last question. I once learned how to view a member's buying history and then promptly forgot. Can anyone refresh my memory on this? This is different from viewing feedback.

Re: Two bids, but price hasn't risen past the Starting Price??? - 12 years ago

Interesting, thank you. Also the price is still exactly the starting price, not a penny more. I thought use had to bid higher than the starting price. I'm sure this is all very inconsequential but I'm new and this stuff spooks me. Thanks, -L

Back out? E-check, Unconfirmed Address, No Seller Protection - 12 years ago

I've got a winning bidder from Canada apparently, E-check, Unconfirmed Address, No Seller Protection. I'm guessing this is too many red flags. It's just a small item. I forgot to set up buyer requirements for this item. Buyer has been a ebay member for several years with only about 6 feedbacks, all positive, also all given feedback is also positive.

QuoteBig Daddy CoolThere are so many thing wrong with your posts (we won't start to talk about your grammar and (mis)spelling), If you understood how colors were created, like that to make a darker blue, you need to do more than add just black to an already-picked Pantone, oh forget it, you're not interested in learning. Well I was interested in learning but you never told me anything specific

Re: A DAMN GOOD QUESTION - Print Pro's ridle me this... - 15 years ago

Big Daddy, and all you grammar nit-pickers, I know my grammar is crap, but I'm not here asking questions about english. read my initial post and tell me if it's hard to understand the question. For the rest of you who gave me actual input, thanks. And I would wager that adding a black screen on a blue ink would in fact make it a different, darker looking blue, giving you more perceived colors.

Re: A DAMN GOOD QUESTION - Print Pro's ridle me this... - 15 years ago

Thanks for all the info. Just couldn't believe how many people took that seriously. And didn't see why seacrest had to point out such and obvious fact to tell me and nit-pick my post while not bothering to address the question. Everyone knows you don't really "ad" a hole, you subtract it. But then you have in a sense "added a whole". I didn't think I needed to go into such

Re: A DAMN GOOD QUESTION - Print Pro's ridle me this... - 15 years ago

I'm sure at least some of you have used the white toner at one point of another, probably back in college. But really, would I be asking about mixing spot colors if I didn't know that white is "knocked out"? Would I know what a spot color is at all?

Re: A DAMN GOOD QUESTION - Print Pro's ridle me this... - 15 years ago

I'm talking about using offset printing for the final product. Comps come off my Phaser 740 with optional white tonner cart. Yous must not be print pros if you don't know about white toner. How else do you get all those little white dots ; ) But sreiously I think you answeres my question. But don't you think this should be built in like "tints".

A DAMN GOOD QUESTION - Print Pro's ridle me this... - 15 years ago

...When working with spot colors we often use "tints". Which are nothing but a series of tiny holes in a layer of otherwise solid ink. We get a range lighter versions of our spot color to work with. But why can't we just as easily do the opposite. Add tiny dots of black to replace the "white holes" and we could have darker versions of our spot color too. Why is this not

Re: defualt white turns to gray in Freehand MX - please help - 15 years ago

Prints look normal (white is white or page color). If I open a new document, the background looks white as usual. But then if I draw a white rectangle it looks off-white, and is visable on the white background.

Re: defualt white turns to gray in Freehand MX - please help - 15 years ago

Artwork on screen looks gray. Also the white color in the swatch and all panels apears gray. Prints look normal -white is paper. The information in the color panel is 0,0,0,0 - 255, 255, 255 -white of coarse.

Re: Freehand MX Question - 15 years ago

I know and love both freehand and illustrator. I know InDesign and Quark though I can't say that I love BOTH of those. Luckily Photoshop is an easy and great choice for the third piece of the print design trifecta. This is a extremely simple brochure so I wasn't even going to bring it into quark (what my department is unfortunately stuck with for now). thanks for the advice. Seems that Freehan

Freehand MX Question - 15 years ago

I'm printing out a brochure layout from Freehand MX and notice that some elements tend to do funny things. Some color areas don't print or print partialy. Text is sometimes partialy "disapeared" in illogical ways (I know all about layers). Also transparent shapes layed over a photo turn out completely the wrong color and with a fringe around the edges. This is a Techtronix Phas

Re: 2 minutes into STEVE WOZNIAK LIVE on Coast to Coast Radio - 16 years ago

WOZ is making it sound like he was the first person to make a computer with keyboard input -the Apple 1. Didn't say this outright but still. Could this be so? Or would it be the first "personal" computer with keyboard input? I guess it could be since the Apple 1 is regarded by most to be first personal computer.

According to WOZ jobs worked for Atari for a while. And then for a "farm". WOZ threw in "I'm not sure what kind of farm it was".

Re: 2 minutes into STEVE WOZNIAK LIVE on Coast to Coast Radio - 16 years ago

Mitnik called WOZ the father of the personal computer. WOZ professes to have started the first dial-a-jock service in history. Mostly Polish jokes until the Polish community threatened him with a law suit. They said Italian jokes were OK though. Apparently WOZ ended up marrying a women he met through the joke line service too.

Hey do you know where I might find a feed like that for the Phil Hendrie Show? BTW for anyone who hasn't heard of Phil he's the king of all trolls and does the funniest radio show in the history or radio or television or the big screen for that matter.

One day he ran into a computer journal laying around at home (his dad was an engineer). Took him a while to figure out what a "computer" was. He says he was too embarrassed to ask his teachers.
