I never comment on fractals because I don't understand them and I don't like leaving trivial comments, but this particular one has a beauty that though I still can't understand I can feel. Maybe it's the jewel-like quality or the organic feel, but I like it ^^

Thanks so much! People don't have to understand fractals to appreciate them.

Thank you! I pull triangles a lot.

I'm going to have to bum a copy of some parameter files to see what things look like when you get some of these images.

Not sure what you're getting at when you say you will have to burn a copy of some parameter files. You mean on a CDrom? The files are small. Just stick them on your hard disk. As far as the movement buttons are concerned, I never used them anyway, so I don't miss them. I always tugged the triangle where I wanted it. Then they messed with one of the vertices, and I disovered tugging on it made the whole triangle move. Someone had to tell me how to disable that. But one neat thing about the new Apo is that you can drag triangle sides, and you can rotate them. So there are some nice new features. But I can't render in strips anymore, because that's broken. The way I figure it is that the renderer in the old version worked fine, and I follow the maxim, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

I said bum not burn a copy...LOL ...like beg, borrow or steal type bumming...LOL

Ah! Well, that explains it. I have trouble telling m from rn sometimes. They look so similar and the print on my monitor is very small.
Since I never got used to the movement arrows, I don't miss 'em.

With this font, even under the magnifier that I have on my machine for reading fine type, it is still hard to separate the r & n.....it still almost looks like an ''m'' when one glances at the words.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's my problem exactly. I can see fine detail, but the "rn" still looks the same as the "m". I think they goofed when they designed the font. They should have made the "r" just a little shorter on the right. They didn't make it for these detailed screens.

It's not bad when the type face is enlarged, which spreads the space between letters. But, at this point size, I can't discern between the two combos as you had in your note. I always use the ''Book Antiqua" font in my emails or the ''Times New Roman''. They're a lot more readable.

I actually like the san serif fonts better, but this one just has that one problem.

Some are easier to read, I guess. Working in the newspaper, back when type was still set manually, one kind of appreciates type faces.
π: 0 β©: 1
Fascinating! I do appreciate type faces. I have quite a collection of them. I also have a bunch of foreign alphabet and character fonts. So you were a linotypesetter? I remember here years ago that the linotype workers went on strike, so the newspaper replaced them with computers.

No, but I used to hang around the typesetting rooms while waiting for the presses to start. I delivered the news stands while in junior high and then graduated to working in the morgue, cleaning and filing the pix plates that were used on the press plates. I also did some of the picture etching on plastic plates for the press. When I started, dad was the editor and I worked at the paper until a year after it had been sold to a competitor. I also could make an extra couple bucks unloading the papers from the press, some days if they had a heavy run. Hot work...LOL

Interesting background! I don't think I would have wanted to do it, though. But the morgue would be an interesting place. Also, it's a darn good thing I didn't breathe the stuff there. I'm bad enough off as it is!

The morgue in a newspaper is a place where they file pix of people that have appeared in the news and bios on important people who may appear in the news so if a personality dies, they can have something ready for print. The only smells would probably be old paper and dust and ink. I found a bio of an interesting fellow that was one of the first indian agents here in NoDak when I was updating the index files. He also authored a couple of books, one being titled: "My Friend the Indian". He recounted one of the prominant Sioux indian chiefs, I can't remember his name now but not Sitting Bull, who wanted to trade all his horses for McLaughlin's wife, because of her blonde hair. LOL I enjoyed reading the book...quite interesting. He later took an indian wife after his first wife passed away.

I am indeed aware of what the morgue is. I think it sounds like a fascinating place! Interesting story you told, too!

I guess I misunderstood your earlier reply. I enjoyed going through the old newspapers that they had in big books stored on shelves in the mail room at the paper. One needed a ladder to reach a lot of them. I think the papers went back to 1881 or so. I was saddened when the paper went belly up after the new owners bought it. It upset dad and a lot of the workers when they heard of the sale after the fact. And dad was one of the first casualties of the turnover. A lot of the workers and dad would have liked to have had a chance to buy it, as they really didn't like the new owners and their policies. I think I only stayed on another year, myself. A lot of the copy and typesetters went to work for the competition in Bismarck. There was quite a turnover of personnel. But, I can take credit for scooping the competition on reporting the Good Friday quake that hit Alaska....when I was just hanging around the office waiting for the paper to go to press when the first reports started coming in on the Teletype.....it was "stop the presses'' and they tore out the front page plates and re-did them to announce the quake. I think we were delayed about another hour or so before getting the paper out. I guess I lucked out in that the editor was getting ready to call it quits for the day when I called his attention to the TTY reports coming in from the AP. It was nice to the linotype operators because the reports were punched onto rolls of paper tape which they could feed into the linotype and the type was set quickly. That was a pretty fast page change, that's for sure.

It's too bad what happened to the newspaper. I've gotten sort of used to the idea that nothing is forever, at least not in this life.
Neat on your scoop. Too bad you weren't a reporter, eh? Those things do happen, and newspapers do a remarkable job when they do. Good it was caught before the paper was put to bed.

Yup.. Pat Phillips, cub reporter....LOL Another 5 minutes and the presses would have been rolling.

At least that's what the local paper here used to use...9mil thick aluminum sheets. I bought about 50 of them with the intention of making a solar collector for heat, but never got around to it. It was a bit out of my league when it came to trying to build the cases...too heavy for me to move and cut the wood.and glass.
π: 0 β©: 0
Ah, yes! Is aluminum what they use these days?
