I would imagine it amounted to a couple of minor tps reports.

brownsugar said:

are you running OSX?

brownsugar said:

I blame LleeLlee.

2the9s said:

Well if you insist on taking it into the shower, is it any wonder..

LleeLlee said:

my work sent me on a 10 x 4hr photoshop night course years ago. And then I got a better job with my new skills
I use photoshop for my work every single day and I just love it.

charlottegelin said:

Psst, get her to send you a copy of the new OS...

retina said:

won't run on my 6year old machine they tell me! 400mHz processor not fast enough! Not enough hd space either! I'm spitting chips! I could put in new HD and processor for under $1000 but other things will start falling apart in the meantime. My dvd/cd drive does not work already. I am up for BIG BUCKS sooner rather than later

charlottegelin said:

too bad. i wish i knew how to send it.

charlottegelin said:

Go for it. You need it for work so it must be a write-off, right?

retina said:

it will have to be depreciated over a number of years, which sucks. I might look into a lease arrangement so I can deduct the monthly payments. All this will bring me down into the tax free thresh hold since I earn so little!

brownsugar said:

thanks for the thought, but the OS by itself is only $170. My problem will then be to upgrade all the other old software I have, since that will not run on OS10.4.

charlottegelin said:

Good idea!



You've got to make the clients you do have pay properly. Those Soda Nation bums for example, they should be able to shell out a little extra!

retina said:

they have no money! bloody musicians!
I charge my clients $60 per hour usually!

charlottegelin said:

How much is that in real money?

retina said:

dunno. I have no overheads (yet) so it goes straight into my pocket.

charlottegelin said:

I used to pay some tax and they used to send it all back to me at the end of the year!

charlottegelin said:

But by then they've used the money you should have had all along do do their filthy governmental business!

retina said:

I know, that's why I rang them up and said "you know that $500, that is a lot of money to me since I only made $1500 this quarter, don't you think 29% is a bit steep?" and they said I should just reconcile at the end of the year instead, but I had to call up to ask them for it, they'd never suggest it by themselves! Bastards!

this is next on my list

Why, I'm using an iBook G4 right now.

I it.
