Adobe Illustrator CS (the original.)I had a copy of Illustrator 8 which worked fine on my old Macs, but I just bought my first OSX machine and it was a little buggy there. Bought the student edition of Illustrator then proceeded to use it for well over a decade until I did a major system update and it no longer supported PPC applications.I've since switched over to Inkscape. Though I feel like I operate less efficiently, and can only do maybe 80% of what I used to do in Illustrator.

>>107731236do not become entranced by ai videos/personalities. they will be very alluring.
>>107731236What I believe is an effective strategy is as follows:-The useful people should leave USA and join a competitor state and help build it up-The useless people should stay here & do what they always doThis will likely take generations & you are unlikely to see the fruits in your lifetime.I havent seen any better plans that put forward; they mostly rely on delusional hope.

>>107731379Payroll, inventory management, database management, sending faxes (you could do this from PCs), keeping a list of contacts, printing documents, generating invoices, creating presentations without having to fuck with film. Payroll and inventory management were definitely the big one for businesses, it’s what a lot of the early mainframes were used for as well. Being able to buy one expensive machine instead of paying a hoard of mathematicians to crunch numbers was a massive gain for businesses. It also meant accounting, orders and payroll could be done regularly, each night or each week, instead of being an end of month affair.
>>107731792An outbox is exactly what it is in email, but physical. You’d type up letters, forms, internal correspondence, put them in your outbox and then a few times a day someone would come round and pick them up, then distribute them appropriately. Faxes were expensive, and only important people would get their own. Likewise, they’d deliver any documents for you into your inbox. Large companies had their own mail systems to handle internal document distribution, because otherwise you’d have highly paid engineers spending half their day trying to track down people to give letters too, assuming they were even in the office.
