sometimes we will make a PDF, most times, I just save the doc back to quark 5, open in 9 and rip.
When using InDesign, PDF is the way to go

Hey, Jrzy:

Can you give a brief explaination why you have to switch to OS9 to RIP?

At our shop in Fairfield, NJ, we can RIP equally from either OSX or OS9 (Classic running in OSX). Even our old Heidelberg DI Press can handle it, as long as we send Postscript Level 2.

How big is your shop? We run a Kodak/Creo Prinergy work flow that is incredible. Every file we get in gets converted to a PDF for imposition and output via Prinergy.

not sure about hotmail, but yahoo doesn't offer free POP access. $10/month, I think.

Gmail does and I use it and it works great.

So do you PDF everything to rip it? And do you have to PDF-X-1A it all (flatten all the artwork)?

our rip system still isn't quite up to speed on OSX yet. I have two computers hooked up with an AV switcher to one monitor/keyboard. I work in X and switch to 9 to rip.

I have a general question about using the Mail utility on OSX.
it works great for receiving some mail clients but I can't get it to work retrieving my MSN/hotmail or my Yahoo mail...has anyone had success with this? and if so...how?

Google mail also has a menu bar app. mail.google.com/mail/help/notifier/index.html

Thanks but I'm trying to get all my mail accounts to come into the Mail utility native to OSX kinda like Outlook does for WinDoze users.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but YMail.app shows the status of your Yahoo mail account in your menu bar. See ymail.sourceforge.net

New corollary for the math:
Just remember a Meg a Minute.

700 mb cd would hold about 700 minutes of 128kMP3 music.

A 700 mb CD is listed as "80 Minutes" because that's how much uncompressed AIFF-format music it could hold.

Which would make sense w/ what Jrzy's saying about 10 hours... OK, OK I give up!

Hmmmm....

700 MB CD / 80 minutes = 8.75 MB/minute...

8.75 X 60 = 525

seems to jibe (approximately anyway...
