Is there a solution for these new computers with no firewire card? I should have checked but with an upscale model one would expect it to have a card.

    Unfortunately a lot of newer PC's are not coming with 1394 Firewire, its slowly dying out in favor of USB3 and Thunderbolt with the various PC manufacturers. Luckily many 1394 cards are available for a small amount of money - although it does take up a slot. The recommended ones are here: http://cart.flexradio.com/Firewire-Cards-Cables_c_18.html But you generally don't go wrong with a Texas Instruments chipset.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
