Still laughing... How about if I get the tatoo and have a yard sale while I drink beer all day with a ball player?? I called the Canon tech to figure out why my printer wasn't printing correctly from Photoshop (JUST photoshop - not Illustrator, Preview or Word). btw - Photoshop printed fine to the big Epson printer, just not the Canon, and I had already reinstalled Photoshop from Disk. I got to talk to a guy in Virginia who spoke perfect English. He actually KNEW his business and had me back up and running within 20-30 minutes. (Print driver update was no good, go back to disk copy and reinstall.) Yeah, it was a no-brainer, but he'd never seen one just print badly from one program. It was a bit weird. anyway - I'll buy Canon again just for that call. I HATED calling HP support. If I could even understand the tech they had no clue how to handle the problem and I spent hours on the phone unnecessarily for a cheap printer. also, my sinus operation was a success, and I'm headed out to the track this weekend and next weekend, at least for a few hours each day. I'm finishing up a big painting of Shane Turpin in a race from last year and it looks pretty good. Sorry, guys, but I'm enjoying the negative/positive space in motorcycles, and they're the only races out here, anyway. I almost cried when I watched the Rolex race the other day.
