Acutally the joke is that a very very long time ago my mac calculated the size of Hard drives in KB, so when I saw that it was ~110,100,480 bytes, I accidently miscalculated it as "10MB" instead of "100MB" and named it "Nick's 10MB Hard Drive".Kaebora wrote:I think I get the harddrive joke. When they say a HD is 600MB... its really less than that. The measurement for a bite is inacurate to put into whole numbers, but they do it anyway, rounding it up to the nearest hundred for selling the product. It is difficult to make a mass produced drive hold the exact same amount of data as the others of the same model.
Eventually I corrected my mistake.
I have nothing better to name the drive currently , so it's named that.
Photoshop is $649 to buy new. That's a week's worth of work for me. On the other hand, The GIMP is free. I understand why people use it. (Personally I don't like the interface.)I'm noticing that a lot of you have this GIMP program. Why not go the extra mile and get Photoshop? Tons more features, and I use most of them. I've had version 7.0 for ages. If not PS, why not Corel Draw? That program is exellent with a graphics pad.
I actually find it amusing that I work for a company that produces software for Windows, and I'm moving off of it totally by the end of the year. The only machine I have that runs it now is my laptop.And Windows is better in many ways. Just the same, MacOS is better in many ways. They are both flawed systems anyways. No OS is perfect. I have noticed that people tend to be close minded about using other OS's. I've learned multiple platforms so I can sell myself to more companies. If a hireing art company uses Macs... tell them you love the Mac, and will enjoy working with it. If they use Windows, Microsoft is your new pal. Love the Start button.
That's actually what I used to produce my desktop background picture.If I could afford it, I'd upgrade to Photoshop CS3 for the new website building tools, automatic image mapping, and automatic panorama arranger.
