Idiot. I said that I don't go to movies ANY MORE. I didn't say that
I don't SEE movies any more. I've seen most of the newer films AT
HOME ON MY BIG-SCREEN HIGH-DEFINITION TV (and will doubtless see
Crystal Skull when it comes out on home video).

you think "All modern movies are garbage" and "Hollywood hasn't made
a decent movie since the 1960's," yet you watch "most of the newer
films"? weird!

Hey, hope springs eternal. I won't waste money on seeing these
junkers, but I have a friend who buys everything that comes out. He
brings them over on Tuesday nights and a bunch of us watch them. Just
because they're too awful to actually PAY to see, occasionally there
is something momentarily entertaining about one.

Your complaint is not the movie but the price then.

My complaint is that the movies aren't WORTH the price.


If you did not WASTE
money on PHOTOSHOP and MACS

It's my money. I'll spend as I goddamn please.


you would be able to pay for the movie to see in
the theatre.

Not worth it. Not worth the money, not worth the rude, talking people, the
ringing cellphones. Even if the movies were decent (which they're not) the
experience of going to the movies has been reduced almost to the level of air
travel. Not that bad yet, but getting there. No thanks.


Your problem is you do not pay for what you should and you pay
for what you should not. As you get older you will, I hope, gain wisdom.

Ed, don't take this personally, but go piss-up a slack rope, will you?

Again, you flaunt your idiocy for all to see. I didn't "look at"
GIMP, I have
installed it, and have said so in this thread at least TWICE, you
moron. And I don't publish a monthly newsletter, I publish a
monthly magazine (I stated that before as well), one that has been
continuously in production, every month, for almost 50 years with
full color and everything.

i thought you were a tech writer? and a equipment reviewer? you're
a magazine publisher too? how many jobs do you have!? (and what
magazine do you publish?)

I am all three. I'm also a recording engineer, a photographer, and I
restore Italian automobiles. So? I keep myself busy. The magazine
title I cannot divulge here, but I've been Editor-in-Chief since 2001
and editor/publisher since 2005. If you want the magazine title,
contact me via E-mail.

If you can tell me in email you can tell me here.


So, you are really Ed? and not the English-poor "Cuphea Ignea"? Nice bluff.
GIMP still can't do CMYK separations, though.

Looking at your March
2008 edition (Volume 48 Number 03) I see lots of problems. Your frontal
image is blackish on black background and your page 2 images are weak. Your
header kerning is squished and the stall line on page 5 rests on your text.
Images which would benefit from borders lack them anyway except for your OWN
PICTURE. Oh, and your color is weak and not CMYK quality.

And this you know from a low resolution PDF? How prescient of you. This Web
version is NOT the print version and has little to do with it. I was just
wondering how you found that issue. There is nothing in Google that should
lead you to it by using my name. And it's not the most recent issue on the
web either, that would be Volume 48, Issue 5, May of 2008.


Oh, yes, and GIMP is NOT as good as Photoshop. It probably never will be.
