Totally, totally OT but wow!
While gardening is a bit curtailed, I think/hope this would entertain others
as much as it did me. It does take a while to load but it's more than worth it, so go and read some emails while it loads up. http://www.adobecards.com/ -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon (new website online) |

I've already got indesign cs2, and the lot of photoshop, acrobat, illustrator etc. but they propose cs4 which is totally amazing. I'd love the trial, but we have no reason to have it (and I don't have the money). Shame, shame. I'd spend all day on it. Actually, I've been on it all day, on some days, but if I had this one, I'll be on it all winter :o) |

It took 10 seconds to start the countdown loading bit. It's been downloading for 3 mins now and it's at 36%... Pity. It's brilliant. Just go off and do something else for a minute or so and then look at it. I'll sit it out, I suspect it's coming from a slow (or overloaded) server as the winking lights on my switch are not going anything like the speed a decent download rate comes in at. My BRAS is currently 4.5Mbps. 6 mins 48%... 8 mins 87%... 'Tis nice, and impressive in that it's smooth, even the bits building the castle on this low powered (by modern standards) PC. Normally things with that level of detail and movement stutter or jerk their way through. -- Cheers Dave. |

£800 off he- "http://www.cs4-store.co.uk/?tag=UKCS4-2692416383-2-creative%20suite%2...." I take it you are a designer :-) Yep, and to acheive the graphics Sacha pointed us at, you need Brilliant, which is in the region of £2K if you want the whole package. You start at £900 - with a simple package, photoshop and indesign, you can even get cheaper, £500 will get you both, but to make 3d, web, flash media, flex and the rest you're thinking in the region of £2k at least. Also when you buy the full package, you need to get a license, just like with CAD - so that you keep being upgraded every other month or so, which is great. You just can't get it 'off the peg' and certainly not for £900. It's an offence, it's piracy. https://store2.adobe.com/cfusion/sto...K&PID=2504702# |

True :o) I remember the first time I saw 'blue wave' - the first forum as it were. I was totally amazed seeing a moving logo at the top right hand corner too, perhaps 17 years ago. When I was asked to write something and I think I wrote something in French, and got a reply within second from a stranger, it was like magic. |
