At the place I'm freelancing, I use the up to date mac, but the editors do correx to the pages on a PowerMac using OS 9.1. Almost all the type on the old machine is bitmappy, but whenever I try to put ~ATM into the Control Panels and restart, if automatically gets transferred to the Disabled Control Panels. Placing the fonts, with both screen and print files, in the System Folder Fonts Folder doesn't help...
What can I possibly do to smooth the fonts? Why would it reject ~ATM?
I haven't worked in 9.1 in ages...

Have you tried opening opening ATM and ensuring that it's set to the correct specs? Can't recall what it's called but it's some effed up setting. Sorry for my lack of memory, as an art director partying hard was /is mandatory so I'm running ow on brain cells.
On a separate note, do you really reside in Hell's Kitchen? That's my former neighborhood -- Columbus Circle or Clinton to be exact. Also worked for a big multinational agency in the 'hood. Christ do I miss it. If only I could persuade my wife to move back...

Ogilvy. Every St. Pat's day they have a bagpiper come around. Try working with that noise just outside your office. Always reminded me of a cat with its tail stuck under a rocking chair.

Which reminds me of an old joke:
How to you define a Scottish gentleman?
He knows how to play the bagpipes, but doesn't.

I went to Hell's Kitchen once, bought some old hip hop LPs.
Why is it called Hell's Kitchen?
Do you ever see DD?

No one knows exactly why it is called Hell's Kitchen.
The neighborhood was, in the late 1800s through the late 1950s, one of the worst slums in history. It was next to the docks in NYC, and railroads ran through. It was built as a low income neighborhood. It was never a good neighborhood that went into decline. Policemen at the turn of the century would never go into the area alone, always in pairs. The rumor is, one day, one policeman said to another "You think hell is hot? This here is hell's kitchen." but there is no proof that this is true.
They tried to rename in "Clinton" in the 1950s, after the colonial era New York governor DeWitt Clinton, who originally owned the whole area as his farmland, but only weenies and real estate developers call it Clinton. Real estate developers also try calling in Midtown West, but baby, this is Hell's Kitchen, even if it is not becoming a slightly hipper neighborhood with soaring real estate prices just like the rest of NYC.
The Paul Simon musical "Capeman" was based on an incident that occured in Hell's Kitchen, and West Side Story was set in Hell's Kitchen, and it highlighted the tensions when poor Puerto Ricans stard moving into the area and clashed with the primarily Irish poor who had lived here for 80 or more years.
Nowadays, it is basically as safe as any other city neighborhood, but when I moved in in 1979, it was bottoming out...
oh, and DD makes a point of remaining in the shadows...
