  • Just downloaded this app to give it a try: I know someone who is using it and getting great results. Unfortunately I am getting similar problems to others: 0 users, 0 files... Anyone having any luck here? or any solutions to the problems?
  • I don't really have a problem with drawers.. but wow! I'm impressed and pleased with the drag and drop approach of the drawer tools as/into palettes. Very nice. I also don't find myself particularly offended by the icons, they seem fine to me. I am …

  • Quote: Originally posted by Escher Sorry your iBook is in such bad shape. If it will really cost $700 to repair your iBook, and you have an external CD-RW, the $999 iBook is definitely a good buy. Just a quick not to let you know that all is n…
