Houston we have a problem..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

One of the PC’s here in the office just went from having over 400MB free on the C: drive to 4MB free in a matter of a few minutes. Apparently, using the graphics software to create a .pdf out of scanned documents left behind a handful of 99MB temp files, not to mention the 25MB final .pdf files. I got rid of those and then did some quick user training in how to scan something in different ways than a bitmap, and use the PDF Writer print driver to make .pdf files out of them. 50KB files work a whole lot better than 25MB ones!

 

User training, the job that’s never finished! 🙂

    I know, I haven’t posted anything today, and haven’t really been online much. I’m trying to get some database work done, but I’ve had too many interruptions between quick user questions and vendor phone calls. I think I’ve started over on this three times now, and it’s not necessarily anything difficult, it’s just hard to…

  • Panther

    I went looking today for information on upgrading Angela to Panther and this little tidbit, at the top of the page, caught my eye: Mac OS X has evolved. The fourth major release in just three years, Panther offers breakthroughs in innovation, ease of use and reliability that wonÂ?t be seen in other operating systems…
