Whoa. You guys are killing me with the Ferrari... stuff. I guess I'm just not even in the same league as all of the Ferrari and Beamer drivers. After seeing the price I have to pay for Photoshop (I'm still suffering definite sticker shock symptoms) I decided I just want to be a humble C++ programmer when I grow up and not a graphic designer. Seriously, are there any suggestions for those of us who drive rattling, clanking lumps of metal (that we even maybe might live out of)? <forwhatitsworth><notmuch> P.S. If you paid all that money for a Ferrari, why keep it in the garage? Shouldn't you enjoy your investment by trying to set the all time land speed record in your neighborhood?</notmuch></forwhatitsworth> > -- Cole > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > UPHPU mailing list > [email protected] > http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu > IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net > -- Scott Hill Food for thought: An eagle may soar but a weasel will never get sucked into a jet engine.
