manodogs I think all 10-year old boys would become HUGE fans of Purple Rain if they watched it. ;c)

manodogs It really does. I move entire sentences and paragraphs and so forth around in editing. For the most part, it results in a stronger work, but like I said in the question, it sometimes weakens it.

I don't know if this question has been asked before, but is there anyone who actually thinks Vista is actually an improvement over XP, or at least just as good? Everyone I talk to hates it, and I do, too. When I needed to get a...

manodogs This is precisely why I intended to hold-out and stick with XP for another year or two! I was right in the middle of the entire 98 - 98a,b - 98SE - Win2000 - WinME, etc., etc... It was frustrating, upsetting, and downright expensive! There's no way...

manodogs Well, I actually tried to buy a computer with XP pre-installed, as opposed to Vista. At the time, they only had 2-3 and they were the last of the XP pre-installs left; once they were gone, everything else would be Vista. I decided it would be silly to go with...

I'm not sure if I could survive without my computer. I like my computer because I can do just about anything. I would be fine for a while, maybe a day or so, but I think I'd get itchy, especially when thinking about the state...

manodogs No kidding! Actually, I work online, so I technically, really cannot live without my computer, but even if I had an offline job and/or a job outside the home, I couldn't go without it. I don't use a cellphone but I've accessed stuff from other people's...

manodogs Vista has its problems - like I said above, UAC is absolutely... if I'd known about it, I wouldn't have gotten Vista - but I like it better than XP, too. It takes a while to familiarize yourself with the layout and everything, but once you do, it's pretty...

manodogs Yes, the whole UAC thing is a real annoyance... no, not an "annoyance" - it's an actual hassle. I am afraid to completely disable it (which is very easy to do) because everyone talks about the security issues, but I'm getting to the point that...

manodogs I don't know, I agree to some extent but disagree at the same time. When you first get Vista, it's almost impossible to find anything, depending on how heavily-customized your XP setup was. But once you get used to the layout and all that, it's...

manodogs Not to mention how many newer posts are the same! I actually search for the older posts if I find a popular topic I'm interested in. It would really behoove MyLot and all of us to institute some sort of system which brings the better written threads to the top...

manodogs Actually, it's been my experience that starting new discussions isn't so great a strategy. There are so many discussions started that most of them get buried too fast. And most of them are the same! My strategy is literally to just surf around, willy-nilly,...

manodogs About how much did you have to post and/or how long did you spend MyLotting to make that? I have responded to a lot of discussions in a single day without making anywhere near that!

I can't afford photoshop so I am using photo explosion. I like it pretty well. I can do quite a bit with it. So what program do you use? What kinds of things do you do with it?

manodogs I just got GIMP and am still figuring it out, but it's got a lot more features than I expected. I really think it's going to be the program I use from now on. There is also Paint.net, which I like, but it has its quirks and limitations.

manodogs I'm the same way. Some of it is a matter of discipline, but honestly, I hate to see a project end. I never feel that "satisfaction" some creators talk about when they reach the end of a project. I think I leave so many unfinished simply because I hate for them...

manodogs Oh, I do that too! I do it with TV shows, movies, books, comics... I honestly have to make an effort to distance myself from the craft involved and force myself to enjoy it just as it is - unless it is just an awesome work, I have to make myself take off that...

manodogs That is great advice, though you make it sound so easy! I actually do what you suggest. My problem is that when it comes to editing, I often have so much material to go through, I just feel overwhelmed and give up. I like the way you worded your...

manodogs I personally don't care for BG because it's just so humorless and dramatic - strikes me as trying too hard. I love Dr. Who (and I'm sure I'll like it even after Tennant leaves this season) and Eureka has been in a bit of a slump lately, but I still think...

manodogs With all due respect, I am not going to research it. Accidents do happen, but I believe the point here was more to embarrass the child than anything else. Maybe I am completely out of touch, but kids at this age are more aware of others than preschoolers and I...
