  1. Font ID help

    I have been striking out on this one. From the note card for a local politician. Thanks in advance
  2. What AntiVirus Software Do You Use ? ? ?

    There are virus and hacks out there for unix variants including mac os10, they just aren't real prevalent because the user base is so small. The kiddies don't want to waste their time with 2% of the computers out there when they can go after 98%. If the Mac user base increases like it appears...
  3. Performance Increase - Best Bang for the Buck?

    I recently got my wife a new refurb workstation from HP. It is an xw 8400.

    Bitmap in ai What version of AI are you using. If it is CS2, then the live trace works pretty well. Open the bitmap in Illustrator, select it. Go to Object - Live Trace - and then make. You will have about 10 different options you can use. Probably Grayscale or Photo High Fidelity will give...
