Adobe can suck my cock: problem number 234,897,456

Well, Pixel is the only decent editor for OS/2.

So do I, but I'd prefer if it didn't disguise itself as image manipulation software.

That could be a good thing as well...could turn oh say Clara Pellar to Charlize Theron...or even make your manliness more so...not bad idea!

Update: I downloaded a demo version of Illustrator CS2, which is supposed to work thru Rosetta.  It does.  Unfortunately, it is SLOOOOOOW.  Like Illustrator 10 on a Pentium 3 slow.  Ah well, that's what you get when you're sucked into a hole by proprietary software.  Only costs $99 with faculty/staff discount, which I still get for another 3 weeks...

Why do you come and get all upset. Most of the time it is the users fualt that their is an error not the companies so technically you should "suck your own cock".

Of course it will run slow it is being emulated.

Gimp is really only good for Linux. You will have more issue trying to get gimp to run on OS X then if you just waiting for Universal version of Photoshop, but you instead of being patient decided to complain.

You again?

What are you? The defender of propriatary business?

Dude, it is not now, nor will it ever be the users fault for bad coding. Half the time it's not even the developers. It's the corporation that tells them what to make and restricts them on what they can make...

You sir, as an apology, should now suck worker201's dick.

Just saying.

Fuck you.  For starters, the incompatibility between Adobe *CS1 and Intel Macs is fully recognized by Adobe.  I posted a link to the white paper on the subject earlier.  So the incompatibility is not my fault.

And the gimp works just fine on OSX.  It runs flawlessly under Apple X11 if you use the .app file available from the gimp project.  And I've actually gotten gtk installed from source before, so I am fully capable of getting the gimp to run, even if the .app wasn't available.

Finally, I can complain if I like.  Yeah, I'm one of those poor suckers who got caught between Apple and Adobe.  That's my choice, because I use their products.  And I got burned - we all knew it could happen eventually, that's one of the reasons that the real future is Linux.  A good little slave would put their work on hold and bow, squawking "Yes master, please grace me with the latest version of your product, sir".  

Fuck that.  I'm gonna make a little noise, and make sure people realize what's going on.  At the very least, someone who relies on CS1 might stop to consider before buying a new Intel Mac.  And if enough people make enough noise, Adobe will start working for the customer.  All I ever really wanted was for them to break their strict 18-month development cycle in order to give Intel Mac users a fair shake.  That's what my complaint really boils down to.

Gimp is really only good for Linux.

Bullshit.

Just fine under FreeBSD and I can tell you from personal experience it runs very well under WindowsXP in my work machine.  That's XP  natively, not under cygwin.

GIMP is GTK based.  It is not Linux based.

I agree ... he is full of shit

what the hell would that fix!?

[Orethrius]

I'm pretty sure there's a package converter for DMGs...

[yahurd]

for whos? whats a dmg

and btw piratepenguin it would fix my own problems im just ranting because windows wiped the bootloader recently i needed to use flash.

[Orethrius]

As usual, Google and Wikipedia solve the question "what's a DMG".
