I was underweight for my height (5'10" / 115 lbs). After spending 6 months trying to gain weight, was able to get a waver and go in to basic. 4 years later, had managed to gain 12 lbs. Out on the flight line, they called me Stickman. I was able to get in through small access holes (KC-135's) and fix stuff that would have taken an extra hour of work to remove larger pieces of skin. Got a decent amount of free booze for helping speed up repairs.
Can play around with a substitute; corn starch and water. Make a thick slurry and you can push your finger through it slowly but if you hit it faster, it hardens up at point of impact. Kinda' wild.
Sorry about the late reply; I'm not using them but have some designer friends. One's just willing to check out new apps for new projects while the other was wondering if other apps would be able to open Adobe format files. From reading down below, it looks like there's some compatibility but not enough to totally ditch Adobe stuff without redoing entire projects.
Also, seems the rumors about CS3 not playing nice with 10.6 are overblown and this entire question didn't need to be asked. Ah, well.
Or, you can request a Mac sync package from the phone vendor. The one I got, was around $225.00. It installed something called VM Where. This opens up a Windows logo thing and then a large window with an email client that connects to my iPaq. Only problem is I can't get my sync info out of the email client window in to Apple Mail.
Part of the problem may be the fact that Credit Unions were originally tied to group of people (Teacher's union, large employer, etc.) but back in the 90's (I think) they were deregulated and allowed to open up membership to anyone. Some, like the Teacher's CU I belonged to, back in Fla., became almost as bad as a bank, service wise and fee wise. They were advertising like crazy on tv and building branches and all this stuff required more income for the CU. Sure, they're non-profit but in this case, were acting pretty much like a chain bank.
Now, I'm with a small CU that's tied to my work. Sure, they're open to anyone to join but they're not pushing things. Was able to get really good home loan and car loan through them. For investment, CU's might not be the thing for everyone but for day-to-day banking service and loans, is worth it to check them out.
Or, I'm a Mac tech who gets asked a lot of questions when new software versions come out. In this case, rather than tell friends wait and see and stick with corporate app lock in, I figured I ask out at a tech site what others thought. I don't do graphic design and other than trouble shooting some install/font/printing issues, don't use Adobe apps.
From the sound of it, there aren't any credible professional replacements out there for Adobe apps and it appears that CS3 will run ok under 10.6. Cool. My question has been answered.
For one of my friends, she's been on the Adobe software train since before they purchased Aldus Pagemaker (still has the box and 2 lb manual in her studio). And while it looks like CS3 apps will work under OS X 10.6, she's a bit pissed at Adobe's snarkiness: "We haven't tested CS3 on OS X 10.6; just buy CS4."
Is understandable and once I point her in the direction of of some of the apps listed here, she'll likely try them at least.
For design work, rather than applying a bold or italic algorithm to a font, it's better to use the bold or italic version of that. Now, if the app's not changing the font from regular to bold when you high light and click on B or i and is instead making you select the bold or italic font from a menu, yeah, that'd suck.
Actually, I just have some friends who are self employed graphic/web designers who are curious about replacements for Adobe CS3 apps, that provide similar functionality. From various news/rumor sites earlier this week, it was sounding like CS3 was going to have major problems on OS X 10.6. And with Adobe saying "we haven't even tested CS3 on 10.6; just purchase CS4", it made sense to check out alternative applications.
The only place I've ever heard of providing actual interactive support for software was microsoft, if you were a really big company and paid them. All other software support seems to come from users on tech sites.
I've never used any open source graphic apps (am Mac tech at gov't lab). I figure, a lot of web work means editing existing Adobe file formats while new work could be done with new native file formats. What would folks who've used such apps recommend? Also, with Adobe being a bit snarky about things (we haven't even tested CS 3 against 10.6, just buy latest version), it might be time to look beyond their sand box and see what else is out there.
From math professor in college: flip a coin 50 times. It comes up heads every time. What are the odds (assuming it's a true coin/flip each time) it'll come up heads next flip? 50%.
How is saying "We've come across something weird and don't know what's going on" and "we'll need to rethink our theories and do more observations" presumptuous? If anything, it illustrates the scientific method.
Presumptuous would be to say our theories are wrong right off the bat or that the observations are wrong. A good scientists always leads with a question, not a statement.

Is why they have running chainsaws on the front.

What about the warehouse guys? Are they really as goofy as they show on TV?

Yup. And Credit Unions are one of the stronger/more reliable financial institutions right now. Hate to see something happen to them.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, DING!
Sweet news! From earlier comments on here, beta testers were saying CS3 is good on SL. Nice to hear from Adobe's mouth.
My bad. Shouldn't have said "open source" but just "alternatives" to Adobe.

Suite! Saw on Snowleopard Compatibility List (not Apple affiliated), they have CS 3 as having minor bugs with Photoshop and Dreamweaver.
