Not really any help to your problem but I stopped using Suitcase ages ago when I discovered Linotype FontExplorer X. It's a free download from Linotype, is free, powerful and more importantly it never crashes on me like Suitcase did at the first sign of a corrupt font! Don't know the download...

I've got several hundred images from various sources that have file names written in various ways. Some are lower case, some uppercase and some title case. Is there a way, a script maybe that will enable me to chage the case of all of them to the same case? Thanks

Just don't by the extra memory from apple! Complete rip off! Try crucial.com or similar. Crucial have a great wizard that will point you to exactly what you need.

My Mac mini arrives tomorrow to replace my ageing Powerbook that I sold last week. Way Hey!! I've got a set of 5.1 surround speakers that I want to setup with the Mini. I know this is not possible and I'll require an external USB or Firewire sound card capable of 5.1. I've seen one that I...

That the only reason I ever boot into Classic. Great program! Never really come across anything to match it.

There are a few ways of doing this. Firstly I'll assume you're using Photoshop. 1. Make sure the part of the image you want is selected. 2. Click on the arrow on the side of the paths palette in Photoshop and select 'Make work Path' 2. Next select the same menu and select 'Save Path' 3. Go...

As far as I remember that little trick has been there since version 6 possible even earlier, can't remember exactly.

I'd never seen such an app before but thought it might come in handy to have a look exactly how much I do download per month. I dare say it's a scary amount! Anyway after a long search I came across an app called Ridge. It's shareware ($10) but you do get a 30 day trial. If you take a look in...

I recently purchased an Airport Extreme card for my 12" Powerbook. I have a PC also and it shares a cable internet connection through a D-Link 624+ wireless router. The PC is connected via ethernet and the Mac via wireless. I use the Powerbook frequently through the day and tend to put in to...

Yeah, I have to agree with that. I've been turned down from several jobs without even seeing my portfolio just because I don't have a BA Degree. I guess being a Senior Design and Creative Director for years isn't enough. Oh, and a very good portfolio. I've also had guys working under me with...

Yep, another Graphic Designer here too. 14 years now. For what it's worth I'm now a convert to InDesign. Never thought it would happen but i must say I love it. I still use Quark from time to time but if I'm starting a new job it's InDesign all the way.

Anyone know of a freeware/shareware/cheap :) utility for changing mp3 bitrates. I've a few mp3's that I've made to use as ringtones but they are a little large. Lowering the bitrate would be ideal. TIA

Clean simple and no mess... the only way. Well, the way I like it anyway :)

I've just enabled WEP on my wireless router (D-link). Now when I wake my powerbook from sleep I have to select the network from the airport icon in the menu bar in order to connect again. Before I had the WEP enabled it used to connect automatically. Is there a way automatically connect to my...
