welcome to signs101! ask away! viable? ...yes, we seem to think so :thumb: At least you are working in a successful(?) shop already which is an excellent step that a lot of new entrepreneur's arriving here have not done, and you mention "research" which is a good sign. It seems...

haha thanks to both of you guys! (I can't believe this... I had to have Serpentine identified for me here once already not too long ago... I'll be an old-timer soon... & I can't even blame paint fumes)

There is a quickbooks plug-in. I don't know the specifics of that yet though. I have procrastinated for way too long in using Estimate after purchasing a licensed second hand copy years ago. I did get to take a brief seminar at the Dixie letterheads meet this October though & plan to make...

anyone able to steer me in the right direction on this one? I know it's rather common & probably among my 600 installed fonts... but I had thought of Friz Quadrata at first, when I realized I was wrong... no more ideas of where to look were coming up for me, so I thought I'd try you folks...

good call Ian. Last night before I dealt with the reformatting of my old design computer, I archived about 100 gigs of data from the second half of 2006. I copied it all on to one of my SimpleTech drives & then on to my other SimpleTech. Along with the early 2006 archives, my 2005 files & all...

thanks all. Michael Adams called last night & quickly realized that I had loaded the XP installation CD into the computer, but had not properly booted from the CD. Once he walked me through that process, the "set-up" moved forward as it should have with the formatting followed by the fresh...

cool! thanks

hey, if you have the knowledge to walk me through this (& it seems like you do) ...any chance I could call you, or you could call me collect? (808) 877-0688

ok... i just saw your latest, so I hit esc to go back, then hit "D" (as prompted on-screen for "delete") ..but it said, I can't delete that partition because some files exist on that partition that are required for set-up. hmmm... I wonder why that is, the disc is in the drive & it should be...

Michael, you don't see the attachment? Well, it says something like; "you are trying to install the operating system on a pasrtition that already has an OS on it. If you continue, things may not work correctly, if you wish to escape, you can choose another partition, if you wish...

hmmm, I went ahead & selected the "fresh install" option, which brought me to the list of partitions as Michael said it would. The c drive was the only viable drive. There was a 8mb "unavailable partition" & then several "NO DRIVE" notifications... so I selected the C drive & got this message:

actually, I have no fear of anything on my computer being seen or known of by anyone... I just don't want to put a cluttered "file cabinet" into a new office setting & hope to have the most well organized operation for several years. So, if dormant files exist awaiting being overwritten...

Thanks Michael. I sensed that this might be the right direction to go. On the topic of chipset drivers, not being a computer building type of guy, I have someone who does this sort of work for me. He was in here last week helping me get the new Dell all configured how I needed it, & then we...

I got a new Dell recently & all is successfully migrated over there from my previous design workstation. The previous workstation has been in heavy use for 2 years & before I reassign it to take over the role of my "dedicated Mimaki workstation" I want to wipe it clean to optimize it's...

for digital printing, I like the final file to be somewhere between 100 dpi & 300 dpi. On average size stuff (2' x 3') I might go with 150 dpi... unless it is a photo & is designed for up-close viewing... then I might go with 300dpi. For smaller 1' x 2' truck doors, I'd go with 300 dpi...

I'm with Steve on this... keep it simple, but also level the playing field to get some useful data. for example: annual gross sales per full time employee in my case, I cleared a quarter million in sales this year, with 2 full time workers (myself & 1 other) and 1 part timre...

I just double checked my memory of Extensis Portfolio... it does work on .ai files. (It can also create a library of image files for actual files that have been archived off the computer, so you can look at those smaller catalogs of all the work you've stored thumbnails of, even after moving...

I've downloaded a few trials but never began using them beyond a brief experiment with a couple of them. I'm pretty sure Picasa will show thumbnails of .ai files. Extensis Portfolio is the one I have more recent experience with & it did a great job creating a catalog of some of my vector art...

$800? !! I'd jump on that deal Letsoren... and only a few states away... (edit ...hmmm, I wonder if prices have come down... I checked ebay to confirm my suspicion of how good a deal that would be... I guess there may be a few good deals around, but I guess I'd still trust a fellow...
