I just have a regular WRT54G v4 flashed with DD-WRT. I can use it with speeds of around 3 MB/s anywhere in my house.

3mb/s isn't that a bit slow?

Tomchu said "3MB/s" which I take to be "three megabytes per second," while the 802.11g standard gives us a theoretical max of 54 "megaBITS per second." That is a theoretical max (…

I actually get up to about 4 MB/s when in the same room as the router, or in the next one.

I just got a macbook and I was wondering what good software is out there similar to photoshop?

Similar in what sense? You might look at the GIMP or something. There really is no substitute for Photoshop if you really need Photoshop, though.

im just looking for a program that works like it. Doesnt have to be the same. I'm just using it for web design mostly and for photos. I have a Macbook. I may be making logos and su…

Logos = Illustrator Layout = QuarkXPress/InDesign

Fireworks also works well if you need both bitmap and vector editing, though it’s not as feature-rich as either PS or Illustrator (but it does what I need it to do very well ).

freehand is ok too..i hate it, but it's ok.

There's also Photoshop Elements, if the original OP can't afford Photoshop, but needs a raster-based program like it. Chuckit already mentioned GIMP, which people like to cite as a…

Apfhex: I've never used GIMP but have heard many good reports. Sounds like you have experience with the program. What are the key differences between it and PShop?

On the cheap: http://www.inkscape.org/

The GIMP isn't as full-featured or well-integrated as Photoshop. And its interface is very clunky. Mainly, it's chief advantage is price. That and its geek cred. That said, it IS a…

You could also look into Photoshop Elements.

Well, Photoshop can do vector stuff, so doing a logo in it is not the end of the world... I would not recommend it though, it's an exercise in frustration! Amorya

you know.. i prefer to use gif animator pro for all my layouts.. and mspaint for logos.. it's provides me with that "i don't know what the f... i'm doing" look i continually strive…

Anyone remember Deneba Artworks (I think) back in the System 7 days? I seem to recall doing a couple of logos with that. I haven't tried Canvas lately (which is what Artworks becam…
