zar1963 Have you tried Adobe Story or Celtx? Both are free and do the formatting for you. I use Celtx myself. I like it. It's simple, no nonsense and easy to use. It'll save it to PDF as well. I've got Adobe. I'll be honest I haven't played around with it much. I have...

zar1963 I mostly use the computer. I do love to write sometimes just to feel the ink pen in my hands. I like the pilot 2.07. I like the way it writes and I prefer a click pen. I don't like the ones with a cap.

Colour via black and white

oldchem1 @oldchem1 (8132) 11 Jul 10

These days it is very unusual to have a photograph that is black and white, but don't you think that very often a black and white photograph is far better. I remember when I got married almost 40 years ago back in 1971 the...

zar1963 Personally I think it depends on the subject, the background, and the mood of the picture. I am seeing a trend in favor of black and white simply because the photographer is hoping for a more formal feel to the picture. Some pictures work well in B&W. Yes,...

zar1963 Since I'm usually the one taking tons of pictures at every family event, I get lots of people asking me to email them certain pictures. I just tell them I'll upload them to Face Book and they can swipe what they want. It's a lot easier for me. I also have an...

alaskanray @alaskanray (4636) • United States 15 Jun 10

I watched this film a couple years ago with my daughter and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It reminded me a lot of 6th Sense, the way it twists things to different perspectives. I never thought it made much of a splash when it was...

zar1963 Yes, there is a 4th on due out in May 2011. It doesn't have Orlando Bloom or Keira Knightley. It's called "On Stranger Tides". I'm looking forward to it. Admittedly it will be sad not to have these 2 fine actors among the cast.
