Re: Stupid Adobe Question

I finally had to go to the $10 cloud version so I could upgrade OSX for some other apps. I love the latest version of PS. Selecting and cloning tools are much improved over PS6. It’s just as fast and convenient as installed software. Paul > On Apr 1, 2020, at 10:18 PM, Bill wrote: > >

While I may be on lockdown, I still have my backyard to keep me entertained. Today saw a pair of Titmice (Titmouses??) and a Robin. https://www.photo.net/photo/18591030/Titmouse-1 https://www.photo.net/photo/18591031/Titmouse-2 https://www.photo.net/photo/18591029/American-Robin -- PDML

Nice. I like the position of the primate in frame one. Hope to get out in my backyard today. That’s as far as I’ll venture. Paul > On Mar 29, 2020, at 4:24 AM, Bob Pdml wrote: > > Here’s a lugubrious diptych taken yesterday: > > https://www.instagram.com/p/B-T4bHbgn3_/?igshid=blpk6588p8i1 >

Re: OT: Boris Johnson has tested positive

“Asian” is a race BTW. And of course we have German Measles. Trump called it “Chinese Virus” because he was angered by China’s feeble attempt to blame the outbreak in the US military. He wasn’t pleased with the regime’s early attempt to pretend it wasn’t happening. He still should have

Re: OT: Boris Johnson has tested positive

I doubt that anything will keep the Republican faithful away from the polls. I’m fiercely independent and haven’t voted Republican very often, but I’ll be watching the Trump/Biden debates carefully. It’s hard to believe that the best the Democrats could come up with was a confused 78 year old.

Re: OT: Boris Johnson has tested positive

“Trump” would be much better. I didn’t vote for him, don’t like him, but I find any kind of name calling childish and distasteful. Paul > On Mar 27, 2020, at 7:49 PM, Bill wrote: > > On 3/27/2020 4:57 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: >> Dumbo Don is not racist. It’s just juvenile

Re: OT: Boris Johnson has tested positive

Of course not. The 25th amendment remedy is almost impossible to enact. So “Chinese Virus” ( coming from an Indian who is probably not hyper sensitive to terminology) is intolerable but “dumbo don” is okay. How odd. Paul > On Mar 27, 2020, at 5:07 PM, Bill wrote: > > On 3/27/2020 10:51 AM,
