  1. Wireless Routers

    I had a linksys im my home for years, but when my family started getting more wireless, i always suffered. My stepson would be on his playstation, and i couldn't get on line... so i went and bought a belkin. My wifes IT guy said we only needed a 100 or a 150, but i got a 600... now when hes on...
  2. Estimate Software

    What did they say? I have the the original estimate, and when they started talking about changing, I told was far from happy. I figure that when I pay for software, I should be able to use it for as long as I need, and the only way that it should be stopped is if I outgrow it, not if the...
  3. Lighted sign cabinet fabricating

    So your saying that the pole is already installed in the ground? I wouldn't touch that one. There are a lot of factors that go into engineering a sign structure. Wind loads, soil density, foundation size... too much that could go wrong, and if you don't know what your doing, it could be...
  4. Awning Material

    Oooooohhhhhh, nooooo!!!!!!!! Man, why would you want to do that to Pat? But we could get Mosh all liquored up and send him over.:ROFLMAO:
  5. Awning Material

    Yeah, well noone is usually that orange dumb. Ok, Edna, you want someone to be serious, here it is... Why would you want to devalue the industry by coming in 20% cheaper than someone else. And prior to posting, why don't you open word, and typing in what you want to say, then spell check...
  6. Awning Material

    I was going to say that was harsh, but then realized who the original poster was...:banghead:
  7. Paint storage...

    Hey, guys. How do you guys store your paint to prevent the remainder in the can from skinning over? I have always poked holes all the way around the inner lip so the paint will drain back into the can, and I try to get all the leftover drops cleaned up, but it seems by the time I'm down to...
  8. A what would you do scenario for you guys...

    Ok, guys, here is a scenario for you... A customer walks into your shop, and says that they want a vinyl decal on the back of their car. They say they have a layout, and pull out a thumbdrive with the artwork on it. You plug it into your computer, and it comes up as a pdf, but it is a title...
  9. Local competitor with WAY LOW pricing

    The problem that I had with the local franchise shop is they had been stealing designs. I saw my design that I did for a small job on the customers truck, and I blocked my id, and called him and raved about how good it looked, and where did he get it done. He told me that the signs by...
  10. Auto Body Customer

    Funny thing is I could somehow see Gino actually saying that to a customer...:toasting: Personally, I'd tell them that I either supply the material, or it would cost them double what I'd normally charge... Because you know, if you do it with their material, and when it falls off the wall...
  11. Install company screwed me, What can i do?

    I once worked as a project manager for a large production sign company, and for the record I hated it. I'd much rather work in the production end. As a rule of thumb, the companys that hire you want to put off paying as long as possible. They will look for any excuse. The guy over me once...
  12. Lettering for trucks and cars

    This has got to be a joke! Are you guys sure we are not getting punked?:banghead:
  13. Commercial location vs home page based shop

    I have a shop on the back side of my property, that has it's own parking area, accessable from a completely different road than my house (The garage faces the back alley, whereas my house is on a main road). I don't have hours posted, but I don't get a lot of walk in traffic. Most people call...
  14. Look what I dug up lol

    Dude, you win! Joe, I have a computer that I just switched out that runs my router that still has Windows 95... In fact, now that I think about it, I have a computer up in the attic that still has windows 3.1...
  15. vinyl cutter/software brands

    Ok, if your outsourcing your vinyl, how do you design it? I would assume you have to design it to send to your vinyl guy. And you have to design on something to send to your CNC... So what programs do you have now?
  16. Fresh Hasenpfeffer!

    Welcome from just across the bridge on the "slower" lower Eastern Shore.:Welcome:
  17. Gerber Artpath File Help Needed

    I have artpath, but not sure which version. If you would like me to give it a shot, I can. Just email the file and i can try it.... kottwitz.graphics@comcast.net
  18. The Perseids meteor shower will light up the summer skies this weekend

    Great story. Sounds like a good one to tell when he gets older and has his girlfriends over. :thumb: I loved when my kids were small and I would be amazed at their wonderment of new things.
