Title: mac user needed!!!
Post by: RemSaverem on March 01, 2006, 03:00:54 pm

so...i have to get ready for sakuracon.
i'm a technophobe, big time.
i have a mac ibook g4, & a cheap printer/scanner.
but they've sat in boxes for over a month (really) because i'm afraid of trying to figure out how to use them on my own (really).
so i'm looking for someone trustworthy and knowledgeable in or around eugene to please help me figure them out, in time for me to use them for the zinemaking at sakuracon!

ok stop laughing long enough to volunteer, someone!  :P  :oops:

It's not so much as to how to use the mac.  It's more of tricking it into doing what you actually want it to do.

NP, in fact I just got referred to it as I had lost my Office disk and was unable to locate it. The only downside is it uses Java :( I don't like java. BUT! it is still a good program.
