Depreciation

oh man, I'm trying to improve my mood. I was up until 3 am working on one of those freelance projects. A big old 8 foot wide sign with a colorized architectural elevation on it. The rendering came from a CAD file, which meant when I converted it to an Illustrator EPS, it had a bazillion line segments, none of which were connected at logical points. What a mess. Colorizing it in Photoshop got really ugly around midnight when the file ballooned to 500 Mb and every edit was followed by a lengthy pause and panicky racket of hard drive activity. Man. My G4 was such a quick beast 2 years ago. And now, as I abuse it with files as big as a 1996 hard drive, its liver spots and osteitic hip joints start to manifest themselves. Argh.
