Andrew, You watch too many Rocky movies, or do you come from NY ? I'm glad to see you guys are such hard workers. My hours are 00:00 to 00:00 (midnight to you), M-Sunday, 360 days of the year. Seriously, tech support is one of the most important aspects of…
Steve, Actually I have a pretty generalized computer consulting practice. I research, recommend, purchase (if requested by client), install, configure (hardware/software), train, troubleshoot, program, handhold, advise, and manage. That sounds like a lot of ground to cover, but I do most of the stuff on the software side. Hardware repair…
Eldor, Thanks for the info. You're right about the quality of the clipart being important. I'd rather have a few good pieces than millions of not quite as good images. I can't wait until they have affordable read/write compact disc (CD) technology so I can store lots of these images…
Eldor, Thanks for the info. You're right about the quality of the art begin important. Of course, we'd all like multi-megabyte hard disks so we could store them all . I can't wait until they have an affordable read/ write CD (read compact disc) so I can store lots and…
Shawn or Andrew, I called in for the video and some dealer info. Naturally, all the sales staff had left for the day, boff ut I hope to hear from someone tomorrow. Thanks. * — Blaise
Costas, Thanks for the info on the images. Some included clip art makes a drawing program much more useful for those of us w/out art skills. If I can modify an existing drawing I can get into the program a lot faster. Your idea of finding a dealer with an…
Tripp, You've really hit the nail on the head, but I don't know if there's any solution to the situation. Unfortunately, some people seem to think that the software/hardware will take care of design issues. Like maybe the computer won't let you print the thing if it's ugly . In…
[Continued] I have a consulting business and have never had a client resent my pointing out deficiencies in the system because I _never_ just point up the problems. I always try to offer a solution or suggest an alternative. The alternatives may not include any direct benefit to me. Because…
Bill, What companies will do because they _think_ they'll save time and/or money! Going in-house was not their mistake, as you indicate. Hiring an obviously inexperienced and unqualified designer was. And you'll probably be called in to justify your bill because her work was _supposed_ to make your end less…
Eldor, Thanks for the information. Corel is _very_ high on the list. Does any clipart come with the basic system, or do you roll your own? Arts & Letters comes with 3,000 clipart images. * — Blaise
Eldor, Oh, I thought it was a pre-sale video, not an instructional video. I don't have CorelDraw. I'm evaluating a couple of different graphic programs. Arts & Letters had a pre-sale video offer which helped tremendously in learning what the product is capable of. Much more informative than a brochure.…
#Notice from Corel
Message #5800
Pat, I saw a msg. from someone implying that Corel has a video available. How do I order it? * — Blaise
