Has anyone thought of zip fileing the tutorials? Some times I have to read over thing 3 or 4 times; and still not get it. So I save the tutorials page by page. Haveing them in downloadable zip files would be nice.

Why not just print them out? There is a link there "Printer Friendly".... Personally I find it much easier to be able to read a piece of paper layed out in front of me as I follow along, than try to go back and forth between a program and the tut...on the screen.

I am, therefore I create.......

As much as I'd love to, ink cartreges cost almost as much as the printer; so they havn't been replaced in a while. I've cheecked out a couple of cheep ink places but they want you to order online ans I do not use my credit card online.

Cheap cartridges screw up your printer -- don't use them. You could save the pages as HTML documents (use `save page' in the file menu), then you would not have to be online to read them. I do that sometimes with very long threads in the forums that I want to read through. Then you can open the docs at the same time as the application you're using, and cross-check that way (if you are using Windows, that is). m ;)

Ya, thats what I do, but it takes awhile. Espesialy when you've stepped in something deep on a different forum and a stedaly getting e-mail. I think that the cost of ink cartreges {and another E-mail} has gotten way out of hand. At present I just don't have the $70 to spare for new ones.

why can't you just click on "printer friendly", and then save. then you can view on your own computer offline whenever you want, or zip it, rar it. It's easy, I do it all the time. If you have adobe acrobat, you can even "convert to pdf.

I like to use PDF995 to "print" to a PDF file. You can pay for a license, or use it as adware that takes your web browser to an add page whenever you send something to it.

We've got two Epson printers. One (less than 12 months old) has had crap cartridges and suffers blocked nozzles; the other, 3 years old, has only had Epson ink and has never gone wrong. Go figure :) m.

You can also purchase ink cartridge refill kits..I know I usually buy one color cartridge, {$37.00 US, and one black cartridge $18.99 US} and also a refill kit {$20.00}..when the black cartridge runs out, I just keep refilling the color one..and if the nozzels get clogged, just use a cutip or paper towel with alcohol on it to wipe the nozzels off..let dry, and its all better...at least for a few more refills ;)
