LOL or I'm guessing we would see even more non professionals trying to use publisher to design their own signs, wraps, etc... :Big Laugh But I get your point.:thumb:

Well there's your problem. Your account of this conversation (if you can call it that) is much different than mine. I have thoroughly explained my position now. I think most on here understand my point of view, if you can't I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to move on.

I don't think it's a mater of affording one or the other, I think the point was if someone weren't super successful like yourself or if they were but were concerned about the costs of learning different software, the savings of owning one over the other will eventually make up that difference...

Forget the numbers... your hung up on that. They don't even really matter that much. The point was to show that eventually you can over come the cost of learning a new way of doing something. You could say it's stepping over a dollar to save a dime, but I can see some merit in that decision...

Am I? I read what you said, now you are trying to tell me what you meant. Here is what you said: My answer to that is yes it may, but it may not. When exactly is "in the end" This whole thing depends on how long your in the business, how fast you can adapt to new way of doing things. I'm not...

Hey, all I did was take the figures you came up with to try to find a guesstimate on how long it might take for someone to use Corel before it would start paying off to do so. I realize the figures you came up with were just pulled off the top of your head. I also realize other factors come in...

Hey, the 3 hours or $2,880 was your figure not mine. I just used if for the sake of argument. I know there are a bunch of other factors that come into play. And the results from a decision like this will vary from one person to another. But NOW your saying switching from adobe to corel will...

LOL, you think Corel will hire me as a salesman?

Adobe Suite Design Standard. $65 per month= $780 a year. CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 $400 the first version, then $160 every upgrade. Corel upgrades about every other year. So, lets do the math. So for arguments sake let's assume that neither program will increase or decrease their pricing...

Yup fishing rod tornado would make a solid icon for your logo, Jill's sketch is nice too.

Other sign makers who contact you through sign forums pretending that they want to hire you for a design project, but are actually just fishing for info on how much you charge. I find that beyond rude. Instead of trying to trick someone into wasting their time, spend that time trying to develop...

LOL 2 Corel Files? Hey that's pretty good. I probably get 2 vector files a year period. The rest are .cbc files. (That is a file extention I just made up. It's short for Crappy Business Cards, that I have scan in and trace).:Big Laugh I keed, I keed. In all seriousness, not using the...

Testing out the trial is a great idea. You will be able to see for yourself on your own system and be able to test things like performance. As far as the learning curve, That can vary from one person to another. The thing you have to understand is you are asking for advice from "folks who...

There is no such thing as "PC fanboys". Unless you are a fan of everything except one certain brand. Perhaps what you think is a PC fanboy is actually just someone that for what ever reason doesn't believe the mac hype. So technically they wouldn't be a fanboy of something, you could say there...

I'm kind of a shinya kimura fan myself. I don't ride motorcycles but if I did, that style of bike at least looks fun to ride.

Yeah we know about that. That is an issue with the cufon font replacement. I think I have a solution, but it requires creating separate styles for just those pages. I plan on fixing that soon when I create custom headers for those pages. I had a chance to sit down and talk with Dan this...

I had a great time. My brother and I spent most of the time doing and going to seminars, but managed to find time to walk around the show floor a bit and see some friends in the bullpen. We also explored the boardwalk and casinos at night and part of Saturday morning. I lucked out and got to...

I hear there are these things called el-a-vaderrs... what ever that is.

I use a missile launcher to get to the second floor. Video game nerds should get that one.

Generic was definitely not what I was going for. However, the last site of ours we did, I remember many people being turned off by how over the top that one was, SO I was really trying to scale back on this one and let the work be the star, not the site itself, especially since we have scaled...
