Interesting links and notes on updates to my main website.

Mac stuff:

My iMac is not the silent temple that Steve Jobs intended. The monitor has developed a very annoying high-pitched whine. Anyone know of a solution?

I upgraded to GraphicConverter 4.4.4 and also bought the upgrade to 4.5 and beyond.
To do the 4.5 upgrade though I need both the new reg code that I bought and my old code, which I will have to dig up from my files.

I got a Canon i550 printer, so far I am pleased. Fast and reasonably quiet. Also both the input and output trays close to keep out dust. I like having the four separate ink tanks too. It comes with ImageBrowser 2.6, I ran the upgrade to 2.7 that I got from Canon's site.

I did a quick print of a flower taken with my Canon PowerShot S20 and the results are very pleasing, even on just Weyerhauser ImagePrint paper (not photo paper). It's not primarily intended for photos anyway (which is why I didn't get a photo printer). A combination of text and some photos is what I anticipate. It is supposed to be quite fast in text mode, and even the photo I thought jetted out pretty quickly, certainly compared to my venerable Epson Stylus Color 740. posted by Richard at 07:35 / permalink (post) | permalink (numeric)
