Well, I just bought a set. Gonna pimp out my web sites.

I'm guessing that 95% of the problems people have with Dell or Gateway is with all the crapware that they load the things up with... Solution: Pick up a refurb machine from Tiger Direct. Then you can blank the hard drive, and install your own copy of XP, using the serial number sticker on...

I just wanna know if he has any guru types around Photoprint DX 5.0 and a Graphtec CE5000-120...

I print to the Mutoh... My sample print is now a 1" circle with a 0.25" contour... It is a -round- circle, not oval at all. I move it from the Mutoh to the cutter, and line up the first registration mark with the ARMS... it'll usually find it. Then it goes hunting for the second, seems to find...

I've got another week of hospital crap with my girlfriend (today was transfusions, tomorrow is an endoscopy, and we'll see where that goes... if you have a friend or family member who is considering a gastric bypass, just follow them around with a 2x4 and hit them whenever they try to eat -...

How much is your software cost per machine? Or is it per USER? Share one monitor/keyboard among several machines. Set it up to run, toggle to the next one. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2840201&CatId=2628

Idea: Could the rendering be offloaded to another machine - or more??? Think one primary workstation, with several machines each chunking away doing their own thing...

Don't discount the dual monitor bit tho... Won't help with rendering something, but back when I was playing management consultant, we did a little study, and a 21" monitor resulted in something like 4x productivity over a 14" one... And duals was something like 4x over a single... just for...

You can maybe add more RAM without replacing what's in it... IMHO, the "best bang for the buck" for a workstation is a dual monitor card. You have more real estate, so you don't have to open/close windows as often. I'm max the RAM however is cost effective, and add dual video and another...

And hey, sometimes you get more... Some of those companies are hustling, and they realize that quality means that they'll be major players through the next century... Other folks are just quick buck guys... It's a crap shoot, but hey, wouldn't you like to be a distributor for the Chinese...

Campers, it's sounding to me like a situation that is sorta close to home here... A member of the family had an employee who got real heavy into the midwest tweaking scene... Guy had been awake about 8 days when he went to a local hospital to "free" a friend who had attempted suicide (and wasn't...

I'm getting the same bit - Graphtec swears that it's in the software. All day yesterday was a hospital day, so on Tuesday, it'll be time to bother SAI again... And If I can't get it fixed by Wednesday night, I'm going to drive to Indianapolis, and make a scene until they get it working.

Just wait until you take the thing onto two wheels... You'll calm down after that one... Lean BACK!

Yeah, with thicker material, you need more blade sticking out. I _really_ need to start haunting the pawn shops over near the aircraft plant again. I used to have some good special purpose mikes, including something that'd probably work for this, but I unloaded them...

Got tired of screwing with the one I got from Ebay. It's okay, but I don't think I'd really use it for more than casual use. So I picked up a Micron today (already had a buncha grommets from that vendor). Built solid, looks to have closer tolerances all around. Came with a little thing of...

You can get older copies of corel DRAW (not paint...) off Ebay very reasonably.

If you know the capabilities of the output device, use a multiple... You'll get sharper results - My Mutoh does 1440, so if I'm doing something I like 90, 180, 360, 720, 1440....

I get the impression that (a) Robertw makes clanking sounds when he walks; and (b) Jack Bauer likes to party with him.

I can't use cutting master to print to the Mutoh... Trying to print/cut... This is highly irritating. I just wish they had a simple print driver. Doesn't have to be great... Maybe something like Epson's drivers... Oh, wait a minute. Yeah, it WOULD have to be great... I can rip and print to...

Turn it off, turn it back on - is there a menu or readout on the front of the plotter? What does it say?
