It is an inexpensive way to share a plotter between multiple computers.

Stealing is stealing and this guy is obviously stealing and whether or not Jiarby can stop it, it was fair for him to report it. No, I can't prove it with 100% certainty with the information given, but a reasonable assumption would be this is piracy and theft. If I see a man in a mask running...

I agree with Doug. Run Ethernet if possible. Transferring larger files over wireless can take a while. Wired Ethernet is MUCH faster and more reliable.

It can be done. I have a friend who has been running his plotter through a Linksys print server for years. It is a wired version, although I am sure the principle is sound for wireless as well. He hasn't had any major communication problems, but it is a little more of a pain to connect in the...

I have never seen a gyroscope in a hard drive (other than the platters themselves), but I am never a fool enough to say that I couldn't be wrong. Freezing the drive many have unforeseen consequences, but I can say for certain that it has worked MANY times for me. I agree, it may not last...

Try putting it into the freezer overnight. When you take it out of the freezer, connect it immediately and transfer the files. If it works, but doesn't stay cool enough to transfer all the files, you can often remove the actual hard drive from the case and keep it packed in a cold pack or bag...

Me too! Me too!

Phototec, It was nice meeting you at the show. I am glad that Steph and Dwight got you (or at least your computer) straightened out!

Welcome Joe! Signs101'ers, Joe is a great, down to earth guy with roots in the sign business. He has made this software knowing what sign shops really need to help the succeed. He has a great, affordable product which is set to get even better in the next month. I have been checking it out...

I will be in the SAi Booth with Flexi and Sign Tracker.

ISA goes back and forth. I have been to many Orlando ISA shows.

I am not going to comment on this computer in particular, but as with ANY computer you buy off-the-shelf, please make sure that you BACK UP often. Win 7 Home Premium has a built in "imaged based" backup in combination with a "file based" backup utility. The reason I say this is because...

The RAID question is a complex one and Choucove has some great insight (as usual). To answer the question "What is RAID?": Redundant Array of Independent Drives. That sounds more complicated than it is. It is simply a way to combine multiple hard drives into a single "array" in order to...

Choucove, I have had different shops get varying levels of success with 8.1 and 64 Bit Vista and Win7. A few shops are OK, others have a miserable time, and yet others can get it to work "sometimes". Flexi version 8.5 and above are supported on 64 Bit by SAI.

Randy, you are correct. You can't use the older Alien Skin in the 64 Bit Photoshop, but you can use it in the 32 Bit Photoshop, even on a 64 Bit machine. I know that sounds confusing, but it isn't. When you install Photoshop CS4 or CS5 on 64 Bit Windows, you get both a 32 Bit and 64 Bit...

Simply output it from Photoshop as a .tiff and Flexi should be able to handle it. I like slicing the image into panels in Photoshop as well, that way you end up doing the heavy lifting on your design software instead of the RIP software. But that is just personal preference.

Both of those software packages will be fine in Windows 7 32 or 64 Bit. The difference is that when you move to CS4 or CS5, you will get a jump in performance in Photoshop if you choose to go the 64 Bit direction. You may want to download the newest version of VersaWorks before you install it on...

I think Sam's Club has it for $99. That is the best price that I could find.

Happy Birthday Doug!
