Re: speaking of printers...



Paul,
Having been on a PC for 22 years you can also imagine my consternation about this. I have found a number of much better benefits to the Mac but a list of benefits NOT on the Mac. But I am not looking back anymore...because work requires Mac and I have to get completely on board.

But to keep this on alt, the problem is that until I solve this problem I can't print out the myriad diginegs awaiting me. I have a bunch of PVA sized paper in my dimroom awaiting a new print! Guess I'll have to just print step wedges...

Interesting read, Jeremy...

This is yet another reason why I moved from the Mac several years ago. Issues like this are rampant at OS upgrade time and many others (for me) too numerous to mention, and it can be extremely hard to "get under the hood" when dealing with a Mac issue. These types of problems started rearing their heads around the time OS X came to be.

No computer platform is free of bugginess, but the direction tha Mac took (for me) caused me to abandon it. Apple is number one in design, cool factor and certain innovations but deficient in true usability, customization, support and coming clean on their boo-boos.

No need to start an evangelical computer flame war on the list, but now that that's off my chest I can go and print gum for the rest of the day in a calm relaxed Zen state of mind...

Ommm...

Paul

Chris . . . if you are using the new Snow Leopard OS, I've been hearing of
probs scanning and making profiles. A goofy profile will make things more
strange than you may imagine. Though I'm out the door to teach you might
think of checking out the Luminous Landscape site for there a bit of info
on there re the Snow Leopard (OS 10.6). Check the forums.
