I actually have four graphics questions that could each be priced at say, $5. I am an illustrator with graphics knowledge that would like to find out how to: (1) reconfigure my PC keyboard, if possible. I worked on the Mac for years and now just bought a Dell, and I would like to find out if there is an easy way to reconfigure the keyboard to make it function like a Mac keyboard. Specifically, I'd like to switch the "Alt" and "Ctrl" keys. This would help me oput tremendously because I work in Photoshop and all the other graphics programs on the Mac and I always use the keyboard shortcuts (Apple+O to open, Apple+S to save, ect.) On the PC it's just a pain to do it all in opposite. (2) I'd like to see how I can create those tiny little icons right next to website URL's whenever you bookmark stuff. The little icon to the left of the website that gives a nice little touch. (3) I'd also like to find out how to create "descriptors" in the URL listings--instead of just having, "myname.com", when people mark your website under favorites, I'd like to have, say, "Andre Adams* Illustration & Design", whenever people bookmark my stuff. (4) finally, i'd really like to find out an easy way to IMBED pictures (jpegs, whatever) in my emails. Like when people have the "signatures" at the bottom of their email, I'd like to also have an image. I currently use Yahoo for my email client, and i hope I won't have to change to another--hotmail, earthlink--to accomodate that feature. Look forward to your findings, Andre |

--------------------------------- 1. RECONFIGURING YOUR PC KEYBOARD --------------------------------- "DoubleCommand is software for Mac OS X (a kernel extension) that lets you remap keys, in other words change the way your keyboard works. Often used to make a PC keyboard more comfortable with a Mac, swapping the Alt (Option) and Windows (Command or Apple) keys, since they are in swapped positions on Mac and PC keyboards. DoubleCommand is a quick and easy way to fix this if you use a PC keyboard with your Mac. Called DoubleCommand because originally it was used to give the old PowerBooks a second Command key, where there was an enter key." http://doublecommand.sourceforge.net/ Installing http://doublecommand.sourceforge.net/install.html Download (*not yet available for Tiger) http://doublecommand.sourceforge.net/download.html -------------------------------------------- 2.
