    Powermac 7300 is a desktop machine; date 1997. Started with 16Mb, but I got them to fit 64. Built up over the years... The 7300 is supposed to take maximum of 512 (8 slots x 64Mb) but.... it will take (unsupported by Apple) 1024 (8 slots of 128Mb). Eventually I may get something to run OS X...

    Fragile fonts - yes, especially those with overhanging kerns. I have Palace Script, for example, but it's cast on a sloping body. With the others you just have to be careful how you place them back into the compartments - can't just chuck them in! For the really delicate types I wouldn't use...

    I was coming to that. Mostly what are called "Draw Tickets" or "Raffle Tickets". There's little or no call nowadays for letterheads, dance tickets and the like because everyone and their grannie can do them on the home computer. But the raffle ticket needs numbering and perforating and then...

    British Thompson Auto-Platen. Made circa 1950 and still going strong! Cotton wool? Nope, each letter sits in its compartment and all the blocks are laid out either in large trays or on the galley rack. Here's an example of a type case (the empty compartments should hold spaces, but I...

    Press-room ... Very posh, of course. Comes complete with spiders (usually oil-covered), mice (complaining about the noise and nicking the paper to make nests in the type-cases) and the occasional swallow ...

    This is what earns the money I spend on computer stuff .... You've seen the hand-set type and wooden type cases - well here's the actual press and press-room ...

    anyone know how to get a jigsaw puzzle effect?

    Excellent! I was looking for a tuttorial on this the other day - I tried making the whole thing myself with some rather odd shaped pieces, but this looks a lot simpler!

    Help fixing up a photo?

    first try: http://www.shaunf.dircon.co.uk/testing.html not quite right yet... (url given as it's rather large)

    Wendy Just wanted to add a message from the boss - she thinks you made a marvellous job of colourising the photo.

    Putting the colour back ...

    The boss is back. She and her sister made ?100 for church funds, so she was quite happy with the day - but even happier when she saw the print-out of the final result - very, very pleased and asked me to thank you all very much for all your help. She says the back wall in the original was a...

    Putting the colour back ...

    Yes, I thought we could "retrieve" the original colours, but the picture had faded too much and lost too much for that. Wendy's version has improved on the original in giving more structure to the face. I like the approach she used (not one I've tried yet). I've made one last adjustment...

    Putting the colour back ...

    Fascinating work! And plenty to make me think! I set about adjusting my original ideas and then I thought - hey, I can't do that well, but - how about combining the ideas that keeper, moth and wendy have produced??? And here's what I got:

    Putting the colour back ...

    Sit back in amazement to start with - you've all certainly given me plenty to think about! I haven't done anything this week - busy at work - but I shall now have a quiet think and see what I can do with all your suggestions! And, Wendy, I shall print out your version to show John - he's here...

    Putting the colour back ...

    Here's a different problem. usually I deal with old black and white photos that have been damaged, but here's one that's not damaged, but has lost colour. The red has been leached out by the sun. I had a look in Deke's Photoshop Bible, and he has some tips using Colour Mixer. Which I tried, but...

    I suppose while I'm at it I might as well raid the family archives - here's Tina, when rather new, in her jersey.

    and here's Dad with the three poodles, Lisa, Tina and Penny. Title of picture: "No, he's not here either. Just where did you hide Big Jim?" (Big Jim was the Siamese; he used to play with the dogs).
