If you have four drives I prefer RAID 5 to RAID 10 but ymmv. Don't bother with RAID on workstations anymore, seems really old hat. In the NAS of course, obviously, but workstations should be imaged every night and you're adding complexity to a system for no real gain by using RAID in them. They...

If you rasterize it in Illy to aRGB tiff it will use Adobe's pantone to RGB engine, and then when you print the aRGB colors will be mapped to the printer space by the RIP (so two conversion steps, more generation loss), whereas if you send it as vector spots to a RIP the RIP will use it's own...

You're confusing product search with general search. Try not to Chicken Little without knowing which sky you're standing under. :thumb: Google already takes money to get listed in normal search too, btw, it's called adwords.

Dead on. It is an interesting shift in their business but it's not too applicable to the sign industry.

I think they need someone to move the Metrodome...

Desperation entrepreneurship isn't good business. If you can't fund a business properly you should be working for someone else, sorry to break it to you. Cost of identity development should have been figured into your initial business plan and loan applications.

I mean the alt tags, but yes, you should also name the file contextually for search. And not generically, use keywords you're targeting. Filename: coke-trailer-wrap.jpg HTML: <img src="/images/coke-trailer-wrap.jpg" alt="Coke Trailer Wrap" />

What you don't have is the luxury of having a bad logo. You can't afford NOT to have a good logo. You're looking at it all backwards. A couple thousand for something that will define your business more than almost anything else is pure investment, not cost. Hire someone else to do it, even the...

Win 7 is an OS not an email program, your complaint is with your email software, which I'm assuming is some version of Outlook. At least be accurate when you complain.... OP, why use Pic and Fax Viewer, it's terrible. Which is why they replaced it in 7 with Windows Photo Viewer. XP is now...

Good start. Make sure to fill in all the alt="" tags on your images with descriptions that are accurate and hit your targeted keywords. Makes a big difference.

Leaving them on is better than turning off for the computer itself, no surge through the caps. Costs you a touch more vs. the vampire draw at idle.

Outsource you barely have enough capital to buy one roll each of cast vinyl and lam much less a printer.

I'd upgrade just for this, haha:

That's why I say interview the company and find a culture fit. I had one in-house gig that was the best working experience of my life and it went to the worst working experience of my life when the (amazing, still a mentor) head of marketing left and a new head came in who was a total nightmare...

Cloud pricing is great for a freelancer or small agency who doesn't have the cashflow to make big spikey yearly purchases of software. And yes there will always be offline version of software, though in some of the situations SightLine is pointing out, the buyer has enough leverage to get the...

Order from Dell Small Business, not from Dell Home. Their business lines are very solid while their home stuff is built for idiots. Finding and working with a Dell rep works even better as they can usually leverage deals you wouldn't have access to otherwise.

So you're looking for in-house. I personally love in-house work but your love of it will be 1000% dependent on the corporate culture. I'm someone who needs a lot of freedom to explore into multiple disciplines and launch my own initiatives and sometimes a big corp is far too big a ship to turn...

It's a tough thing to say but at 42 with no agency experience unless you're a wizard at motion you probably won't find agency work. That's not to say it's impossible, just not likely. Entry level agency jobs don't really exist as they're called college internships. And then after internship is a...

He's saying "illustrator" as in someone who is a specialist in illustrative art work, not as in someone who is technically proficient at vector software. If you have a high demand for illustrated work, yes, you should hire an illustrator or contract a freelancer on a semi-permanent basis for...

Haven't upgraded yet at my sign job. Boss is kind of slow on this stuff. Bought the upgrade (download, not cloud) at home for my freelancing.
