...and a big YEEEHAAA to the developers! Installation of both Gimp and Ghostscript was a piece of cake and although the print dialogues are a bit fiddly and take a bit of getting used to, we now have the workhorse 1520 on the OSX tramlines with jolly good output. And it doesn't keep suddenly...

Chevy, I just took a look at that pdf. I don't care what it was produced in, rather you than me mate! The final result must have arrived amid much crashing, gnashing, wailing and canibalistic style sheets that ate themselves. Anything but Word for that job.

Obviously not, you're all too young! I suppose I'll have to polish up my walking frame and get my creaky old bones back into the second-hand record shops - aargh - ee - ooph

Does anyone know how to make 'icon view' the default for received and sent attachments in Mail? I'd prefer to see icons first rather than the full image and control-click 'view in place' as the option.

"MacWorld 2007 - Quark announces that development of Xpress 6 Beta will finish any day now":D

Certainly a more natural way of getting type into the comp. I don't use ink except to play with at the moment, but using the Wacom pen has almost completely relieved the RSI in my wrist. Two years of agony gone in two months. Back to the press-ups!

Congratulations! Sounds you had a slightly better time of it than pensfan further down this forum. Er - if anything else goes wrong, let us know!

Paul, as you're out in the sticks you probably already know that you're pretty much stuffed. It could be that you're two inches further out from the exchange than you should be. It's going to be a long time, if ever, before a cable company gets to the countryside. Have you looked at...

Vegetarians eat vegetables so what do humanitarians eat?

Is anyone here old enough to remember The Castaways? I once heard a record by them called Lie, Lie, Lie and that's all. I remembered it just now while listening to 3.telus.net. I wondered if there are any albums around, or anyone knows anything as I can't find any web reference to them or...

Paul, BT Openworld is (reportedly) one of the worst at the moment. Nearly all broadband complaints here in the UK are about this product and of course most of those are from PC users, so you can imagine what it's like for us. BT seems too large and uncentred to concentrate on broadband...

Awww - that's the only smiley Apple face we've got left! The poor little thing!

Slightly off the topic, but who dreams these titles up? "social engineer" - words created by the same people that brought us "terminate with maximum prejudice", I suppose. Why not call it what it is? These things have crept into the UK vocabulary. There must government departments on both sides...

I wouldn't know, I never get to watch The Simpsons. Some clown of a programme controller always puts it on at kiddies tea-time in the UK. For an extra kick, make your mac speak Inkwell's strange words of wisdom! (there's got to be a humourous book in this sometime...)

I think Inkwell is just great fun - 'I ms the hbedast!' Is that profound or what??:D (I wrote: I am the Greatest!)

Same thing with the StylusPhoto 1290. Fine but suddenly, Poof!! Gone!! Nuts. Only a reboot gets it back. Second generation driver, too - happens more with this than the first one.

Umm - whatever it is, I think I'll let everyone else experiment with turning their Macs into smouldering heaps of melted metal and plastic and wait until Apple endorses it before trying it out!

Umm, ow... you should have made up a story about a faulty component in the printer:D

This all seems perfectly normal to me! Which means I'm no help. I'm using an Epson 1290 with the latest printer driver. Printing just stops, same as with the previous drivers. Fixamac's Print Centre Repair utility sometimes helps, but not very often at all. I usually have to reboot to get the...

I'm beginning to think that Fred's holding up OSX Xpress deliberately because he's sulking over what people say about him!:D
