New Imac in the shop, very nice for under $2000. The screen is massive. I mean, in my childhood, I think I attended movie theatres with smaller screens than this one.

Anyways, I’m getting it prepped for use for our Prinery operator. Here is what needs to go on it:

1. Prinergy workshop with Preps and VPS (Duh.)

2. Quark 7.31 (The Mac runs Leopard, so we have to have 7.31).

3. Microsoft Office for the Mac, especially Entourage so the operator can access her mail.

4. Cyberduck the ftp client.

5. Chicken of the VNC so she can remotely view other Macs, especially our Mac which is running the FTP server software

6. Pitstop 8.0 (Gotta upgrade as that is the only version that runs on Leopard).

7. Kodak Epson Proofer Client.

8. Suitcase Fusion version 12

9. Creative Suite 3 with Acrobat 8.0

I have a few licenses running on 30 day trial until the operator feels comfortable in switching over. Even though CS3 was running on a 30-day trial it expired today after 5 days. Whatever, oh I hope I get those stupid Adobe programs to safely activate  unlike last time.

Update: June 17th: Activated CS3 today. 2 programs out of three activated okay. Indesign is still out of commission. Hey! There is actually a patch to fix TRIAL version of Adobe software. These guys, they just kill me…
