Hey Fungy, nice to see you again! 🙂

However, I move around a lot, and currently only have access to my old, OLD computer (P2 300 mhz, 128 megs of ram), but here’s what confuses me: Photoshop 7 runs WAY faster and better on this computer than Photoshop 6 ever did.

Huh? Yeah, that’s what I said…

LOL! I may be wrong, but I think the code was better optimised in 7, so in a way I’m not surprised. It runs even faster if you clear out useless junk like Image Ready 😉

Anyways, hi folks 🙂

Hi again, glad you’re back!

I think you meant rhetorical question (one that needs no answer) not redundant question (asking the same thing more than once)

Er, what was the question?

Er, the question was: Do you know why 7 would run faster than 67 on an old computer.
Er, do you understand now? Er, just let us know.

Er, no it wasn’t. It was a statement, introduced by "Here’s what confuses me". He went on to inform us what confused him
The only question there was "Huh?". He then went on to say "Yeah, that’s what I said…", not, you may care to note, "what I asked", thus reinforcing the fact that it was a statement, not a question.
Do YOU understand?

OK. When somebody posts on a help oriented newsgroup with something like "I don’t understand" or "I can’t figure out why" or "I tried this and that but can’t achieve this or that" this somebody is asking for an answer to his problem. Anybody with an IQ in the two and three digits understands this, do you?
Is that clear enough for you now, er, Gormless? (you do not need to answer this last question BTW)

I agree with Stephan, even though he is a bit arrogant.

Maybe my specs need cleaning, I’ll grant – they usually do, but where did he actually say "I don’t understand" or "I can’t figure out why" or "I tried
this and
that but can’t achieve this or that"? (Hint: that was a question from me). He DID say "here’s what confuses me". Not the same. It wasn’t a question. Smells like a statement to me.
English grammar 101: A question is always followed by a question mark (that’s a ‘?’, in case you didn’t know. I realise these concepts might be difficult for you.)
The Spaniards make it even easier for you – they put an upside-down ‘?’ at the front of the question, which would give you some warning that a question is on the way. Like, hey Stephan, stand by, get ready, here comes a question. Countdown, 3, 2, 1 … (When you’ve finished learning English try Spanish.)
The only ‘?’ in the OP’s posting followed ‘Huh’.
He then says "Yeah, that’s what I said…". Note the ‘Said’ word there. Statement.
I wash my hands of you. Obviously you’ll never grasp these fine distinctions. The distinctions which make English such a rich language – you should learn it.

I don’t think this group gives a rat’s ass as to what you agree to! FM…
