    need simple label software program

    I love how people just read what they want to read and ignore everything else. Wine bottles seems to be a prerequisite to have something to affix the labels to. How that became a full blown winery in Natobasso's imagination, heaven knows.

    need simple label software program

    Natobasso he did say Homemade/homebrew. Pages could do the job. Also Labels and Addresses.

    Is Apple killing DTP on the Mac?

    I don't think your example is extreme at all. It stops me from connecting my Macs to our TVs as there are 2 existing TVs and many shelved and amongst the current Macs we have there are at least 5 different connectors. Not being excessively stupid, I have noticed how Apple can't stop changing...

    Apple does not give a F...

    The fact that you can not find huge volumes of complaints on the Internet does not mean anything. Apple has successfully kept a number of basic design flaws under wraps for many years until someone or other outs them. Regularly unwelcome comments are removed on many sites even supposedly...

    Left or right?

    I use both hands and have a stick taped to my nose that I use to press things. I also have a kittie called Fluffy, because it farts a lot.

    iWeb to non Apple website?

    Thanks, got that. I had a further look at the results. The sexy looking carousel for the photo gallery, that's only on MobileMe? Any way I can do that on my own site?

    How do you use iWeb to create a website that isn't hosted on mobileMe?

    How to capture System Updates

    Thanks for the link, just wouldn't show up in the regular DLs. Sneaker net is great. I have a complete organised set on one of my WD Passport 320Gb HDs and run them in order on each machine, color labelling them as I go. Sometimes there is a glitch and I can add notes. Doesn't bog the network...

    How to capture System Updates

    I have 7 Macs and do not want to individually auto-update with large DL files. I know you can DL updates from Apple's Downloads site, but some files are not there. Specifically the latest Security Update 2009-005, which I have used to update 1 Mac. I'd like to grab the installer and...

    Software I like

    iText Pro '09 It is a lean mean word processor capable of low end DTP. I use it to manage everything from web snippets through to DLs, media, data and personal organisation. Overflow Best solution to the problem that is the Dock. Default Folder X Fixes some but not all the annoyances of...

    Is Apple killing DTP on the Mac?

    I'm not the only one to notice the problem with Apple's connectors. David Pogue in a recent article had occasion to curse Apple on this one. I have had Macs for a very long time and it would take me a while to work back through all the many display connectors and what worked with what model. I...

    Is Apple killing DTP on the Mac?

    1. EIZO's monitors are extremely expensive and need to be added to the high cost of a Mac Pro. Also see pt 8, the cables keep changing. 2. Yes Pages is being used for layouts, you only have to read Apple's Pages Forum to see how many people are being caught out with unworkable output. I have...

    Is Apple killing DTP on the Mac?

    Given where Apple is heading with both hardware and software, the question arises is Apple giving its old core supporter base the shove? I base this on: 1. Hardware Apple has only one monitor screen left that can be set to a suitable level for pre-press illumination, the rather expensive Apple...

    Comedy Circuit Star Sarah Palin to pitch for next Presidency.

    :) Have to agree. Not as strong a recommendation for high office as that you can see an uninhabited Russian island from a remote Alaskan fishing village, if you stand on your kitchen table. We had a local extremely rascist politician who had a good run based on the the fact, I suspect, that a...

    Comedy Circuit Star Sarah Palin to pitch for next Presidency.

    It seems to be human nature to attack anyone who doesn't conform to "social norms" and Jews have been steadfast in maintaining their beliefs in the face of enormous persecution. There is a notion that if we let you be an exception we will have to let everyone follow their own beliefs then where...

    Comedy Circuit Star Sarah Palin to pitch for next Presidency.

    I do not need to go and "befriend a Jewish person" I have done that many years ago. You seem to imply that they especially need befriending, to the exclusion of all others. As to deaths in battle, the tragedy is not only with you and your buddy. A far higher price is being paid by many...

    Comedy Circuit Star Sarah Palin to pitch for next Presidency.

    Is this more of the confused thinking I was talking about? Proof? What proof of what? What "taking my Jewish friends through the mud"? * What horrors are you talking about? Don't expect me to fall for the "I'm a vet", so-I-must-be-right jingoism. I am outside the "revival tent certainties"...

    Comedy Circuit Star Sarah Palin to pitch for next Presidency.

    bbloke SGilbert's response is exactly why I made my previous comments. So many in the Republican party are in some self induced time warp fighting a cartoonish red menace from 50's B-Grade Hollywood flicks, that they sweep even mildly liberal politics into the all encompassing communist...
