Thanks for the input! I have decided not to upgrade as of now because it seems that it is not essential.

Thank you for the advice! I wasn't going to invest in a new ibook, but I was just wondering if it was possible. It would probably cost more than it's worth, though, like you said.

I hope that sales in Apple go up because I'm tired of software companies making software that only works on Windows and websites having features only for Windows, et cetera. I use a G3 ibook and genuinely believe that Apples are superior computers because there are less problems with them. The only time I had to bring my computer in was when my dog stepped on my laptop and my "D" key came off while I was evacuating from Hurricane Ivan last year, and that wasn't my computer's fault! I think that macs are faster, easier to deal with, and cheaper in the long run (you don't need a lot of repairs). That's one of the big drawbacks- there is no monitor! You have to buy a monitor, which will probably cost another $100-$200 or more, depending how much you want to spend on a monitor. I'm not bashing Apple because I love my ibook (although it's an ancient g3...).

I think the reason why you cannot upload your own fonts to the server is because of license and copyright issues. You can, however, have a link on your site that says "To best view this site, make sure you have blah blah font downloaded, and you can download it at so and so dot com." That way you can make sure that viewers will see the site the way it is supposed to look if they want to. The text will show up no matter what, but it will come out in times new roman or times. Basically these are some of the fonts that are mainly used on all OS's that you can feel safe using: Impact Verdana Times new roman Times Comic Sans MS Arial

Ugh, I hate casinos. Why do they have to disturb our peace online? I get a lot of those gambling pop ups. "Guess who this movie star is to win $10,000!" It's SO ANNOYING. I do not think that msn or any other web site should endorse gambling because it causes addiction, and people who are trying to get help with normal casinos can now gamble in the privacy of their own home. How sick is that?

How do you know this works? This looks like a scam, and the reason why I say this is because I have been involved in things like this before (such as receive e-mail and take surveys in order to get paid, et cetera) and I never saw the money. Have you actually been paid yet, or do you just have high hopes?

I switched in 2003 to using an ibook and I have never regretted the change. The ibook stays connected to the internet (broadband) when the other computers (Windows) in the house are down, and there are less viruses for the mac to get. I like the interface more, I love the design and sleek look. I love how easy it is to use a mac. I had no problem adjusting to OS X.

Of course you can! I have a g3 strawberry imac that is way out of date that I bought on eBay for $90 and I upgraded it to OS10. It doesn't have a lot of memory so it's slow, but it is possible to change the OS. You may need to add memory for speed, however.

I have read some rave reviews and also a couple of disappointed reviews about Tiger, so I was wondering what your opinion of it is. I have OS 10.2.8 with a G3 and was wondering 1)would it work on my computer, a G3, 2)what are its advantages and 3)what are the problems with it (ie disadvantages?)??? I probably cannot afford it for a long while but I am wondering whether I should invest in something like this.Also, can you upgrade a G3 ibook to a higher G4 or G5? That's hardware, isn't it?

Can you explain what you are saying, please? I don't quite understand because you seem to jump from topic to topic without being clear or explaining any of the topics that you discuss. Please talk <type> more slowly.

I like the ones you posted, especially the lion! I like this one because it is beautiful and very though provoking. You don't quite know what's going on in it, so everyone will probably have a different interpretation. Post your personal interpretation! I'm interested!

Haha, I was wondering that myself! Your art is extraordinary, it really is! You are very talented. You have an interest in the supernatural and the extraterretrial it seems, which is very cool. I love how you made a semi realistic portrait of yourself, then you made it with just a skeleton-like image, then with the extraterrestrial appearance... very creative! You know how to use the right colors and how to shade well. Good for you! I've tried drawing with a mouse and it just doesn't come out at all... even if it is just editing a photo! I don't have a graphics tablet, unfortunately. I think that the sand one is my favorite, too! Like I said before, this guy really knows how to use the right colors and how to shade... it is mind boggling how good it is!! I really admire his ability.

That's exactly the impression that I had when viewing these photos. Unless s/he just made them from scratch, that is. The edges seem to be very pixelated.

Actually we did warn them, but it was a cultural thing- I think our scientists warned their scientists instead of going to the head of the government or something like that, and in that culture the scientists do not report things to the government. It was something tragic like that.

Yes, in memory of all those people who died. May they rest in peace. It was a terrible tragedy. I am taking a geology class right now so we covered this a little bit. I also saw a special on the history channel that was on tsunamis, so check your local listings or go to historychannel.com to see when it may come on again. I think they have been repeating it a lot. Basically they said on the program that some scientists in the west saw twenty four hours before the tsunami occurred that it was coming, and they notified the countries, but they did not notify the correct people or something like that. Therefore, none of the locals were warned. One aboriginal (spelling?) group actually knew that it was coming and ran away to safety. One elephant left the zoo and came back after the tsunami was over, asking to be fed. The program on the history channel said that many of the people were unaware of the coming danger because the skies were clear and the day was beautiful. The tsunami is not a huge tidal wave that comes at once but actually a series of very long-lasting smaller waves, only about 15-20 feet high. The problem is that they are so enormous in length that it fills up the land very quickly. That is why they are so dangerous. Thanks for the post!

I think it's well done and thought provoking. I don't support the war at all for the reasons that this painting demonstrates.

I love your art! "Primitive"? Gosh, I wish I could do things the way you do them! I used to use PSP when I was using a PC, but PSP doesn't work on Macs. I love my Mac but sometimes it's difficult to find a cheap product that will work on it! I use adobe when I do any art, which is a rare thing because I am terrible with the mouse. I wish I had a graphics tablet! I love the posters you did, especially the last one on the first posting. The new one on the second posting is very good also- I love it!!

I agree with the others- it is very well done- I admire your ability! I can't freedraw anything using a mouse!! I like the way the colors match up with one another- you seem to have a great grasp on the color scale (or color wheel, whatever rocks your boat ). I like the way the white lines come out- an awesome effect! I actually disagree with the person who complained about the open space--- it may look awkward from an artist's point of view, but I think it would mess up the graphic if you added anything there. Leave it alone!

Your posts are awesome! I simply love reading them! Anyway, I think that the typeface used on a web site is very important. I think that it should not be so small that it is hard to read, which I find often on personal sites made by people who think that it is "cool" to have the tiniest font possible on their web sites. I do not know why squinting is cool, but... I find the sans serif fonts, like arial, verdana, helvetica, et cetera, to be much easier on the eyes for some reason. I think that it gives a web site a fresher look and makes the reader more intrigued to read the material rather than material written in something like times.

I never thought of that! I never thought of tracing the logo's history back to the Greeks and Romans, but now that you mention it, it all makes sense! Thanks for the interesting history lesson!

The title of your post drew me in and I actually read every word for your essay. Is this for school or just for fun? My guess is that it's just for fun, as the grammar is casual and easy to read. I found the essay to be very interesting. I always hear people complaining about how technology is destroying us. <begin example>This girl at my school was talking about how the mother earth's blood is oil, and she needs her blood just like we do. For us to use technology to drill out her blood is killing this mother earth, and the girl argued that there will be destruction in the future. Many people use technology only for profit. </end example> I think that it is scary that we have atom bombs. I really think that all nations should destroy the atom bombs and only use nuclear technology for medicine. I never thought of the world population "problem" being caused by medicine making the life span longer, but I suppose that's true. It's a very interesting point. Thanks for your insightful post!!!

I actually have no opinion on cookies because I don't mind them. Unless they are set up for evil or to take advantage of you, I have no problem with websites using cookies. I actually find them helpful when they autofill forms for you and things like that. They are pretty useful, all paranoia aside.

Thanks for the tip! I changed it and my email and such seems to be going considerably faster. Thanks for teaching me how to change my firefox settings!

Haha, that is hilarious! It reminds me of that South Park episode when the animal mascot (I can't remember if it was a cow or something else) was removed because PeTA complained about it and was protesting it, and so the kids had to vote between a douchebag and a turd sandwhich. Is that still an active link? It sounds hilarious.

I know! I totally agree with you. I thought it was a website for a school or a church or something and that I would find some information on the school or church, but when I clicked on it there was only one photo, the title, and a form for which you can tell a friend about "the longest single word domain name in the world." I kind of think it's corny. :)
