Lucky to have him riding to the rescue on his white horse, though black-hatted! Meanwhile, not familiar with the workings of Dreamweavers and Surfers, I can only imagine being squeezed into a too small wetsuit :-) PhotoShop is probably the most challenging software I use regularly, of which I still know only a fraction.marja-leenahttp://www.marja-leena-rathje.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763772100015353700.post-33013297069774823272009-10-25T12:56:44.417+00:002009-10-25T12:56:44.417+00:00Ah, but those gunslingers of yore were the very de...Ah, but those gunslingers of yore were the very definition of cool ~ as are the keyboardslingers of our present day. I suppose one has to be cool when normal folk are calling out, "save me!"<br /><br />Although I have never attempted the wetsuit trick, it must feel exactly how I felt learning Dreamweaver. But on a good day, it is fun! That's when the afterwork ale is extra tasty.Rouchswalwehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393987883437907945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763772100015353700.post-4907073031914530672009-10-25T11:53:14.341+00:002009-10-25T11:53:14.341+00:00The Crow: On his rare state visits to Ch.

I have ceased to ask about their relevance, had not noticed the present (seeming) exhortation and I congratulate you on your sharp eyes, your powers of inference and your knowledge of the US pop market. When taxed with an explanation grandson says that in this case "machine" may be taken metaphorically to mean powerful institutions and/or the establishment. Although grandson is, technically, a member of the family the life he leads sets him so far apart from us that he could be better identified as a visitor from outer space. So, in brief, we are not anti-technology.<br /><br />RW (zS): Clearly a whole new plateau of conversational exchange is about open up between us. Learning Dreamweaver was as hard a task as I have ever taken on, second only to trying to dress myself in a wetsuit two sizes too small when I was in NZ. I fear your honest reaction to grandson's appearance suffers from the unforgivable sin of enthusiasm. Grandson rejects this idea, preferring always to remain cool. So cool, in fact, that it's occasionally necessary to test for signs of life.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763772100015353700.post-53890234670078216092009-10-25T08:52:59.141+00:002009-10-25T08:52:59.141+00:00For me, Dreamweaver is sort of like the brain, i.e...For me, Dreamweaver is sort of like the brain, i.e. only 5% is utilized. The panel that allows me to manipulate the html code is the only one I have been able to tackle with any kind of success. <br />Your Grandson is lookin' sharp in his hat. The computer cowboy rides into town and cleans up Dodge. Yee-hah!
