I'm interested in learning more about design and illustration, and I live in Florida. I thought about attending a conference here in Orlando (so no hotel or travel fees), but being new to this I am not sure about the presenters, and the price tag is hefty (even with my discount code, $395 for three days). So, creative Mefites, tell me what you think! [more inside]

My small ad agency is looking to speed workflow and reduce errors stemming from borked formatting going from word docs, etc. to InDesign. What's the skinny on InCopy? Tell me about your first-hand experience with it; is it easy to learn, easy to use, etc? We are all very happy with InDesign, but we're not going to give it to every writer, and it's tedious to have the writer sit next to the AD and go "no, put the semicolon there and the period there." I want to get a feel for the value that InCopy might bring. Also, what are the hidden drawbacks that I may not have thought of? Thanks.

I reformatted my computer today, and I just finished reinstalling all of the programs i can't live without (Media Monkey, VLC, Firefox, uTorrent, you get the idea.) For some reason I think I remember that I had found an alternative to installing Adobe Flash Player. I really dislike Adobe Flash, though I'm sure its for stupid and mostly superficial reasons. Does anyone have any idea of an alternative? (not the one microsoft just came out with either.)
