live in this day and age where we can share information and ideas like this

Jo!<BR>Thank you for your message below. Very interesting to see the large
variation in experiences people have with computers - I am glad you are able
to find a way to print SignMail. I have no problem with that issue...I can
print long SignMails using Apple Mail.<BR><BR>Plus I can send and receive
SignMails that are longer than other people can - I have no clue as to why
there are differences with this issue, except to choose a positive perspective
on all of this...and in time we will figure it out.<BR><BR>We are all blessed
for a variety of reasons...<BR><BR>1. We have the internet - the world without
the internet would cut us off from each other, so we are very blessed to have
this form of communication<BR><BR>2. We all have some kind of computer or
device, or we would not be communicating, and I say thank you to all of the
inventive giants who produced those machines for all of us to
enjoy...<BR><BR>3. And I say thank you to Steve Slevinski, Jonathan Duncan,
Antonio Carlos da Rocha Costa, Richard Gleaves and all the SW software
programmers for giving us software to use, and thank you to the programmers of
Firefox and every web browser, for giving us choices - the fact that we can
choose to use different software for SignWriting and choose different web
browsers is amazing I think...<BR><BR>4. and 4th...has anyone tried using
Google Chrome web browser with SignPuddle? Just curious...<BR><BR>Download

does SignPuddle work for you in Chrome?<BR><BR>The other day my good Mac lost
its ability to project sound on Skype - I was on the phone with tech support
at Apple for an hour, and we could not get sound to project...so I assumed it
was the internal microphone that needed to be replaced, so I packed up this
fairly heavy desktop computer and took it to the Apple Store to be fixed, and
when I arrived at the Apple store, it worked flawlessly! It was a mystery. So
I come home with the computer, and the same problem happened again here in my
office and I was unable to Skype or record sound on a video...there was a
feeling of frustration (grin), but I now have a headset and an external
microphone and both work...so rather than arguing with fixing it, I just
adapted - I am continually amazed at how many opportunities we have in today's
technology...<BR><BR>So computers are just robots, and remember, we are the
boss of the robots (I think - ha! ;-))<BR><BR>Val

just an issue check that comes up whenever Firefox updates. I have no
idea what the add-on is, but I can look for the name with the next
update.<BR>> <BR>> I haven't used Skype for a long time, so I
don't know if that add-on is causing any problems or not. The last time
I used it, I don't think I was getting that error message... but when I was
using Skype with video the picture kept freezing on me - I thought at the time
it was because my hard drive was failing, but now I suspect it might have more
to do with my wireless router not being powerful enough. Anyway, the
message comes up whenever Firefox updates, even if I'm not running Skype at
the time.<BR>> <BR>> As for SignPuddle, I'm not too worried about
it right now... I only have one project on the go, and I'm waiting for my
illustrator to get some pictures to me before I can go any farther with
it. Besides, I'm using SignBank for that project and I had no trouble
bringing my columns into it.<BR>> <BR>> The biggest problem I've
been having lately is when I've been trying to print out a copy of some of the
SignMails that have been coming around lately. If I print them straight
from Outlook Express, I can only get it to print one column per page.
However, if I right-click on each column, copy it and paste it into another
program (I usually use OpenOffice Writer), that tends to work. It can
get a little tedious, but since there's currently a limit to the number of
signs that can be mailed, it's not too bad.<BR>> <BR>> I remember,
some time ago, trying to get some signs with a transparent background and I
don't remember ever getting that to work. (One of the more recent
threads, where someone - I forget who - was getting a black background instead
of transparent, reminded me of it because I've had the same
issue.)<BR>> <BR>> KJ<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
