    Opening an sea File in OSX?

    I had a client send me a .sea a few weeks ago, and I'm running 10.3.4 at work. Stuffit Expander didn't work for me, so I used File Buddy to change the file type to a .sitx...I didn't really think that this would work, but it did.

    Dream Office Challenge

    What type of business is the home office to be used for? What are your security concerns? What are your redundancy and backup needs for the systems? I'd be concerned that the two Macs you mention have very little potential for expandability, though they color-coordinate nicely. But even...

    Dumb Bluetooth G4 Compatibility Question

    I'm a bit of a neat freak and I'm willing to part with a little dinero to get rid of my crappy old keyboard and usb cable. Will my G4 Dual 867 work with a Bluetooth keyboard and USB Blootooth? It darn well better... and which USB Bluetooth Adapter to get? • TRENDware, DLink, Kensington...

    Where do you buy memory?

    The memory I purchase for home I've gotten almost exclusively from www.macsolutions.com. Their prices on older forms of RAM tend to be lower than the competition, and they're very good about prompt return of the occasional bad stick.

    Colours for print????

    hmm. I work in the pre-press division of one of the largest printers in the country, and I can tell you that film is dead. Even for making intermediate proofs(like a Kodak), and especially for making plates for offset. And I don't mean Marlon Brando dead; I mean Jimmy Stewart dead. But now that...

    Colours for print????

    Hate to burst your collective color bubble here, but alot of the above is missing the mark regarding color management. If you're serious about learning how your colors will be managed from original image capture (digital photog. or scan), vector and raster programs to your final output, check...

    Photoshop - mystery color blocks

    I may be way off-base, but it may have to do with the layer usage and manipulation. For instance, if you apply adjustment layers on top of pixel-adjust layers, you need to turn off the above adjustment layers to use the clone tool to avoid color distortion on the base pixel-adjust layers. Also...

    Powerbook G4 Not responding

    A co-worker of mine noticed recently that his G4 17" Powerbook, which normally is used on his desktop at the office, doesn't seem to function off of battery power anymore. He's using 10.3.4 on his machine; the battery lights up when tested and shows a consistent 42% charge no matter how long...

    Illustrator Files: Legacy 8?

    thanks, Nato! I'm just trying to educate myself a bit more about the pros and cons of saving back to Legacy 8...since the client is closer to me than those processing the pages, I think I may get caught in the middle. I'd like to have info, as well as a plan, when and if that happens. I'm a...

    Weird wireless router problem

    I think alot of posts here will relate to your questions; before you ask for one-stop shopping, figure out how to get to the store. I'd start by describing the systems that you'd like to share files, down to the models and running OS. I recently got some great advice for some problems I had in...

    if you can afford that Dual G5, you can afford better than dialup, no? Problem solved. :D

    Airport Cards (non-extreme)

    I'm really surprised that you're having so much trouble. I bought a (non-extreme) Airport card two months ago for my iBook, and after pricing available stock at the local Apple Store and Comp USA, I bought it at Best Buy for $69. They all had them to burn...of course, I live in San Francisco, so...

    Illustrator Files: Legacy 8?

    ...but since I'm just using the Legacy 8 files for final output via Quark, I'm not really worried about editing any of the areas with tranparency effects later on in the process. It may sound backwards, but I actually want the file to be as 'stripped-down' as possible, without sacrificing any of...

    Illustrator Files: Legacy 8?

    howdy. I work in pre-press, and my shop handles quite a few Illustrator EPS files from clients...one of the remote Sites of my company actually does the page processing, while we handle all the image manipulation. Lately there's been a push to have one of our clients save out their Illustrator...

    How long do you keep your laptop on?

    I think I'm like many users...I use my G3 iBook at work for peripheral tasks, meetings, etc. I use prefs or sometimes scripts to run maintenence or spin down the HD when it's not being used at night or on weekends. Mine used to give me a lot of problems when it was new and as my first laptop, I...

    comcast cable - no access on my mac - help!

    Perhaps this is redundant for most, but I think this discussion sounds confusing without pointing out that MAC is referring to the address of your network adapter...while your Mac may just be one computer on your LAN that is assigned that address. With the same Netgear Router that AdmiralAK has...

    comcast cable - no access on my mac - help!

    I had a similar problem with the same router and Comcast. I've got a few questions: How is your Network set up in System prefs? Do you have a software firewall running(like Norton Firewall)? What OS are you using? Can you get online with another wifi machine (like a laptop with Airport) via...

    Alias Sketchbook released for OSX!

    I'm trying the 2 week demo, and it's a bit of a mixed bag: The interface is great, maximizing the drawing space and reducing clutter. Even on one monitor, it feels relaxed and intuitive. The 'flicking' to tools, help hints, and 'sketching' the names of layers are nice touches. The airbrush...

    Alias Sketchbook released for OSX!

    sounds great! What's the cost of this software? Will it compete with Painter?

    Any plans for Apple notebook?

    first let me say that I did ask about drawing capabilities for the protype MiniMac that I'm dreaming about. Or MacNSketch. Used mainly for image editing on the fly using Photoshop, Painter, etc- definitely could be viewed as a 'digital stetchbook'. It could be built for other tasks as well, like...
