  1. 2.5" external hard drives

    +1 on the NAS. We sell them to our customers because there are some very real advantages.
  2. using the bad wrap templates

    I demo The Bad Wrap templates at many of the tradeshows for SAi. It really is a pice of cake. In short: 1. Drag and drop any background or logo images into the green layer group (design). You can move the layers around, just be sure that they stay inside the green layer group. You can...
  3. cs5.5 is 10% off

    I agree with Erik here. CS3 to CS4 came with a big set of improvements, so CS3 to CS5 would be an even bigger jump.
  4. Beige background on new Windows 7

    Sorry Colin, I was too late. Yes, that is a monitor profile issue and you found a fix.
  5. Thank You to all our Veteran's

    Being a disabled veteran (Seargent US Army), I would like to thank all of my fellow veterans and active duty military. I also appreciate all the folks who take time to remember that Memorial Day is not just a day to BBQ, but a day to recognize our fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice...
  6. Discounts on CorelDraw X5

    I got this in an email (CorelDraw X5 discount) this morning and thought that some of my fellow 101'ers might be able to use it...
  7. Flexi 8.0v2, Vinyl Express, and Windows 7

    I don't think that compatability mode is limited to Pro. It should be there for other versions too. XP Mode is limited. Compatibility Mode and XP Mode are two completely different things. You can use Google to find out how to use either one.
  8. FSpro 7.6 v.2 ...No HASP Replacement from SAI??

    It is an unfortunate situation. I have heard similar circumstances many times. Here is my take (and take it for what it is worth): If you lost the dongle, you also lost the 6 digit code that is on the dongle label. That number is all someone needs in order to reinstall the software on...
  9. Need Some Advice

    The size of files doesn't really matter. Identical hardware in both a Mac and PC are going to perform very close to the same. If you have larger design files, you are going to need a very well built Mac or a very well built PC. Our customers are generally dealing with LARGE files, in some...
  10. Need Some Advice

    Exactly.
  11. Need Some Advice

    Now that is a reasonable argument. I can relate that to paying a few thousand $$$ more for a better make or model of car. Yes, it gets you to the same place in the same amount of time, but I feel better getting there. This is the only reasonable arguement for a Mac that I have heard so far...
  12. Need Some Advice

    Apple does not "make" monitors either. They buy LCD/LED panels from one of the handful of panel maufacturers just like everyone else. Throughout the years, Apple monitors have simply been Samsung, LG, and other brands with a pretty Apple cover and an inflated price tag. They do choose better...
  13. Need Some Advice

    Huh? How so? Please explain this to me. You mean to tell me that if you hook up a Mac and a PC to the same monitor, you are going to get better color quality out of the Mac? I would love to hear how this works. Out of the box, a Mac needs to be calibrated just like a PC.
  14. Need Some Advice

    Untimately, this will turn into a PC vs Mac thread. It is just how it works. I hate having these discussions because there really isn't a "right" answer and there are very strong opinions on both sides. It is like asking which is better, a Mustang or a Camaro. Of course everyone has an opinion...
  15. Got a question, it should be simple, but I'm stumped

    That's my deal too... You should be able to see the extensions. After you know the extension, you should be able to change the preset.
  16. AMD vs Intel

    Like a few of the others familiar with system building here, I have noticed some serious generalities and misconceptions. At any given point in time, there is going to be one manufacturer (Intel or AMD) that is going to have a higher performance level. But, it is not a constant. There have...
  17. Technically a Survivor

    Congrats! I am a cancer survivor myself. I was 23 when I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I had a year of chemo and radiation, but it was worth it. I am on my 11th borrowed year and even though the docs told me I probably would be able to have children, I have a beautiful 9 yo...
  18. MS Backup Utility

    Interesting... I have used it numerous times with stellar results. All I cant think of is some kind of BIOS/USB setting that wasn't allowing the computer to see the drive/image?
  19. MS Backup Utility

    Yep... and you can schedule both the image backup and the file based backup to run on a schedule. I run an image weekly and file backup daily. In case of catastrophe, you don't have to install Windows in order to restore the image. To restore an image, you simply boot to either the "Windows 7...
  20. Font Management

    The short answer to most of your questions if YES. I put a few of my thoughts on Font Management here: http://hotwiredtech.com/blog/2010/10/06/font-managers/ P.S. I have been happy with Font Expert, but there are many other Font Managers out there.
