I just built one online for their Dimension series of desktops. That price includes just a basic tower, no monitor, 160GB hard drive, 4GB Ram. $800. Not bad pricing. http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&oc=DDCWAA4&s=dhs

I am honestly considering a Dell computer. 4GB of Ram, 160GB hard drive, dual core.... and under $700. What is everyone's opinions on a Dell these days?

Welcome. Glad you're looking to learn stuff. Most Sign-A-Rama guys seem to be content with knowing nothing but blabbing that they know everything... oooops. Did I just say that out loud? :wink:

Sorry Techman, I gotta disagree with you on this one. I have a laminator just like that. Made by Ding Tec. I've had it for a year without any problems. It's motorized with a foot control. Well worth the money spent. BTW, if it matters I go through about 800 sq. ft. of laminate a month. So it...

I got the same notice last week. I am tempted to get it, just cuz of how often my printer has broken (over a dozen). But.... it's been good so far..... so.... I don't know. Might have to think about it.

That thing is a Ding Tec. You could probably get a cheaper one from www.pacificcoastsignsupply.com . I have a Ding Tec, and while it's a Chinese cheapo... it's an energizier bunny. It just keeps on going, and going, and going, and going, and going...

Player is correct, however I think Corel has an easier learning curve, especially for sign applications. For drawing and true illustration purposes, I think Adobe wins. I have both.:Big Laugh

Hey, cool! 2 newbies on one thread! Well to the both of you... Une grande étreinte et un grand baiser de quelqu'un qui était dans votre position une année il y a, un novice à ce site web. Accueillir, et s'amuser ! :Welcome: 2 :signs101:

Exactly! My biggest problem with it was that even while using the EXACT same profiles, my colors came out differently. Like Pantone 215 wasn't the same Pantone 215.... it was a little off in shade. And if you have any customers you've spent time in getting their colors JUST RIGHT.... well, you...

I got the upgrade.... I found it uterally worthless. Didn't get anything special IMO, and it screwed up all my profiles! I was ****ed, and once installed, you can't go back to 7.6 !!! Flexi's upgrade made me hate them even more...

I have one. I rarely get time to work on it, so it's rather incomplete. I only get about 60-200 hits a day though.... sometimes only like 20. One of these days I'm just going to hire a web guru to do everything for me, but until then.........:beer Oh yeah, and having a website has...

Nope. Convex works. I was saying cast sign vinyl doesn't work.

Alright guys, I got it figured out. Someone suggested trying ad-aware, so I downloaded it. 189 adware/spyware programs were running........ I deleted them all and now I'm golden. Looks like everything is working great. lol. Talk about being bogged down with spyware........ BTW...

Limewire is gone. Toast. Deleted permanently from everywhere I could find it. I checked the settings thing Ken... and it's set up for 1440MB . Seems fine to me? Maybe I should restart the system after the defrag is done and see what happens?

Now at 77% and currently de-fragging.... and yes. The problems are exactly the same and still present.

I may try to spread the stuff around a little... and see how that goes. They're just internal drives. I just have as default one guy on drive C, one guy on drive D. How do I check my virtual memory? I'm sorry, I'm not the most computer literate person yet.

Oh yeah, my bad. Acer Aspire 5000 notebook. 1GB of ram, dual hard drives totalling 100GB. 1.60GHZ, Windows XP. This is NOT my design station, this is just my personal laptop, and my web computer. Only stuff I have on here is music and all my web files ( I do my web designing on this...

I am having a strange problem on my computer. I tried to open Dreamweaver yesteday, and it started to bring it up and then just dinged, and closed it. I tried again 5 times, and it did the same thing. So, I thought... "that was sure weird" and went on to another project. Next thing I noticed...

You might've had one of your waste lines tear. I had that all the time, and that's one of the issues I had. And every time I cleaned it, it would get worse and worse.... Check thoroughly underneath the capping station for any frayed or broken lines.

Another case of using the right materials for the job. Even if you use cast vinyl, seal the edges, and double laminate it.... it's going to come off. Guys, I go through (on average) 1300-1500 square feet of bike graphics a month. It's my #1 source of income. You CANNOT use sign vinyl in any...
