Fred that is incredibly helpful and thoughtful input, thank you! There are a lot of things I like about both styles, so it's hard for me to tell what functions the best. One question for your regarding the Set1 layout. Do you think it would seem better if the rollover navigation buttons had...

I'd like to get all of your wonderful professional input on a rebuild of the general layout of my computer business website. You can view the original website at http://www.cumuluscomputers.com I have two different layouts created so far. One has a static navigation panel on the left side of...

For sales in Canada, I would suggest taking a look at http://www.ncix.com They have really great deals as well, and have some different business models and some ASUS models listed on their site for Canada as well.

I have at least one person a week ask me for assistance in picking out a laptop, and after all the time of looking around at what is available for the price, I just have a very hard time anymore suggesting anything but a business-line notebook or something higher-end from ASUS. The most common...

It is probably the medium to larger businesses that will benefit right away from SaaS more than the smaller businesses may at first. Think of it this way: If a large business wanted to set up their own cloud to run let's say a job management and invoicing software accessible to their offices...

Since I mentioned the reasoning behind our sign shop's views on cloud computing, I thought I should toss in some information that is much more general to businesses of all sizes in regards to cloud computing since this discussion really has come to envelop more than just the sign industry. I've...

I think what makes things very difficult right now, and where a lot of the discussions come in on this issue, is trying to define what IS the "cloud." Just like Techman said, a lot of what is considered the "cloud" today is just a more fancy way of accessing old remote technologies like FTP...

Off-site remote backup using a network can be a great idea if you have the right circumstances for it, otherwise you're spending a TON of money to try and make something work that just simply won't. At our office we once considered putting in a simple backup server at our other office (located...

I've had this happen a couple times before, but what fixed it always for me was to change the permissions of the hard drive itself and be sure you have UAC disabled. First things first, make sure that the UAC is turned off (in the User Account section of the Control Panel) and restart the...

This has been a tremendously helpful thread. I will plan on taking this information and pouring over it (for a long time I am sure) to figure out where to go from here. The general feeling that I am getting, as well, is if we are looking into getting one of these for the first time, we should...

That is really great work! One thing, since I really know nothing about this kind of equipment yet, is how versatile is it for materials? Do you have to get a specific kind of router to be able to cut aluminum (as that is the great majority of all our fabrication) or does it just depend upon...

I'm not sure what kind of budget we have to work with yet, but low end is all we really need as right now we don't foresee a continual use of it except for select jobs and to expand some of our offerings. Less than $20k to enter in is a lot less than we were expecting, as one of our dealers we...

Our shop has been pondering looking at getting some kind of a CNC machine for fabrications. Really, though, we don't even know where to begin! What options are available out there, and what is the price range? Is there certain software we need to be looking at above others, or additional...

Is there any word out when Flexi 10.0.3 patch will be available? I tried to reinstall Flexi 10 today on that computer giving issues and, while it seemed to work the first time I opened the program, it began immediately displaying the error again quickly after. If the patch won't be available...

Indeed, I am wondering if this isn't somehow related to a Windows Update for Windows 7. The other computers at our offices that have Windows 7 have not installed any updates in the last couple weeks, as we have automatic updates disabled. I make it a task once a month to go through all the...

We have started getting this exact same error happening on one of our design computers just in the last few days. We reinstalled everything on the computer a little over a month ago when we juggled some of the computers around, and installed the latest version of Flexi 10.0.2 Pro on the...

I as well have been quite loyal in using AMD in the past. There was a period here for the last four years or so that every computer in our sign shop was based on an AMD platform, and I have always personally owned AMD. However, after doing a lot of research and testing, we decided to go with...

This is probably the main cause of your video display lag. There can definitely be many other causes, such as amount of RAM and CPU speed, as well as software issues such as malware or continually running applications in the background using up system resources, but usually this is attributed...

In the past we too have used Western Digital raptor hard drives for their 10k rpm speeds. This made a noticeable difference over basic 7,200rpm hard drives that we had used before, and still have four production computers using raptor hard drives, one of which has two of them in a RAID 0 array...

This is just my opinion, but if what you are looking to accomplish is the protection of your information from the rest of the internet, then the best bet would be to get a hardware firewall put in place. While many basic wireless routers integrate a basic firewall, there are a couple better...
