You can have any two of the three following options: 1. Cheap 2. Fast 3. Good Good and inexpensive do not go together in the sign business. Moreover, why would you want to invest in anything other than quality? If you intend on hobby - save your money. If you are planning on getting...

Schools cannot very often get the funding, from administration for software. Cannot remember about v.7, but up until v.6 Photoshop only needs a serial number - very much unlike the newer activation schemes. These enables them to install on multiple machines with very little problem. I also...

There are some very people in the sign business that do not own even one piece of equipment. What they have are things that many people put absolutely no thought into - such as: - They are not afraid to talk and sell - They look for every opportunity possible to sell their services - They...

While we understand your customers frustration, even as funny as it sounds, his choice of words is only an invitation for trouble. 1. To the thief, those words are actually a dare. 2. God forbid anything ever happen, regardless of local and state laws, those words can be construed as...

If anybody is interested (or needs), we can get units similar to the Enduralam (62 inch) for $4000. They use a single point chain-driven height adjustment (not dual knobs), variable speed, etc. etc. I will get a picture better tomorrow if anybody wants. Here are the specs: ICO62...

Color - Here is a link to what happenned early this year. http://www.gopaultech.com/?p=262 . Considering that we do not have Macs, we cannot say of any personal experience other than what we read long ago. We have been fortunate that we do not deal with viruses on our PC's. Tech - To...

Dave - Apple's OS X is not as virus free as most would believe. There actually was a virus for OS X this year. Another myth is that Macs do not crash. That is just not so - they are just as capable of crashing as other computers. What I have always liked about the Macs is, just as you...

toddmn - Just curious, who is your service provider, and what do you think of their internet service?

Toddmn - I have that 22" Samsung. CompUSA had a deal for $279, after $50 rebate. My only regret was that I did not get two of them. I had stuck to the old crt for so long that I did not realize how far downhill it was going. Color is accurate, crisp, and clear (using DVI).

In all seriousness, what you already have with more memory will do the job. What is more important is to ensure that you have a good system for backing up your files. You should have two backup copies of everything that is important, on top of the files that you have to work with. All the...

They aren't doing stuff like that anymore. Those new Macs really really have my interest!!!!!!!!

For sh** and giggles, I quoted this machine out, but with 4GB memory, and slightly larger hard drives. I came out at $2400. That also includes a high-end case and power supply (very important in my book). The extra $1000 is not bad if you consider that they handle it. They (Dell) will not...

My machine does not run the Xeon, but we are running at 3.7GHZ and 3 gigs of memory. The memory will make a huige difference with Photoshop. It is not out of the ordinary for Photoshop alone to utilize a gig of memory (depending on your settings), before it goes to the scratchdisk. If you have...

There is about $1000 in on-site, next day warranties and guarantees. If his machine went down tonight, he would have another in the office by 10 am.

The size you need depends on how fast you are filling your drive. Quite honestly, nowadays many have gotten lazy about maintaining their HDD. This is primarily due to their low cost, as compared to what once was. As for the daisy chain, the only ones I know of are the firewire, unless of...

It is called the "rules of three" 1. File you work with 2. File Backup 3. File Archive Backups and archives are not the same thing. Therefore, if it is important, you should have at least two more copies.

Expanding your horizons is never a bad thing BUT why make the switch if you are already using and familiar Illustrator. While there are some differences, one is just as capable as the other. Spend more time expanding your Illustrator and Photoshop skills - a better investment IMO.

Flame - When using "contour", the command duplicaes the orignals outline settins. Kill the outline all-together when using countour, or set it to "hairline". The mitre setting should be set to sharp but even when the outline gets larger you still lose the point.

Actually, you already know. If you estimate using the above info - you will get: - 50 hours design labor and printing time: $85 x 50 hours = $4250 (From what you stated in the above quote, you will be working as much as the printer and walking back and forth) - 1000 pcs posterboard...

Not many, if any, people could. At the very least, a job like this would require an additional employee - even if only temporary - of course an additional cost to factor. Another thing that many have not mentioned yet. A fifty hour job that is due in 5 days constitutes a rush order. It does...
