  2. Adobe Systems Breach of Security?

    Did anybody else get this email today? The email address appears legit, but I did not follow any of the links. I can't find anything about it on Adobe's web site, so I'm a little suspicious even though it looks plausible. Jim UPDATE 8:07 am 10/4/13: Yep it's legit. It's under the...
  3. Ampersand abuse: I'm callin' the font cops right now

    Ampersands are unique unto themselves, and I really like them. Over the years, I've seen wonderful examples of how they can take on a life of their own, and really dress up an image. Along with the good, I've also seen bad. But I've never seen such a hideous case as this one. This...
  4. So I've been thinking...

    John B. inspired an idea on a previous thread that prompts a new question. Maybe you've thought about it...or perhaps not. But assuming you request a traditional (or green) burial, how would you design your headstone? To be honest, I haven't seen any real "head turners" in the cemetery...
  5. Here snarkey, snarkey, snarkey...

    Just a quick throw-together...up for a little constructive snarkicism. But only board-certified snarkologists are permitted to comment. Swear words must contain no more than four letters, or begin with the letters A,S,P,F or Q. Client does audio /visual services for local events, along...
  6. Office ergonomics...what are you doing?

    Ok...so after a much needed visit to the chiropractor today, I'm now in the market for some brand new ideas concerning my office chair and desk. After discovering the benefits of doing back exercises on a Swiss ball, I learned that the balls are also used for office chairs. So I get on...
  7. Wow...Corel "likes" AI

    Hmmm.... I had a friend ask me if I could open a native .AI CS6 file in Corel X6. So...I tried it...and it works. And it gets even better. All the formatting (art boards, etc) was identical, and the native (unformatted: no arc, wave, etc...) text was still editable in Corel. I only...
  8. When I was a boy...

    Ok guys, I'm pretty sure we've all been through this stage, and I think it ranks right up there close to puberty, as a right of passage. But if you've never decimated a deck of your parents' playing cards on the spokes of your bicycle, there's still hope for you. Make sure you watch it to...
  9. Gerber GS15 Plus and SignLab 8 Cut Velocity

    We are having trouble getting the GS15 Plus to cut slow enough for sandblast stencil. Changing the cut velocity numbers in the menu do not affect cut speed (slow or fast)...nothing changes. Our GS15 uses a different driver, and we can get that one to cut slower or faster. I'm stumped...
  10. As an Adobe user, I'm in shock!

    Ok...so I'm a software addict. Not because I'm a techno-geek, but because each application has specific capabilities that the others do not. My collection includes Illustrator, Photoshop, SignLab, Omega, AutoCAD and now Corel X6. We first started out with Corel 3 back in '95. We...
  11. What am I missing?

    I saw it posted earlier somewhere but now I can't find it. But how the heck do I start a new paragraph? I hit enter but the cursor doesn't do a thing.
  12. 8-31-13 Deadline for Adobe/Corel Crossgrade

    Adobe users can get Corel X6 Suite for the upgrade price of only $189.00 but the deadline is tomorrow 8-31-13. Read about it here:http://apps.corel.com/lp/cs/eu/index.html
  13. Wireless router and adverse health effects

    I may be opening a can of worms on this one, but has anybody else experienced any adverse health effects from their wireless routers? (headache, lethargy, depression...etc.) I don't spend enough time on a cell phone to notice problems with it, but my wireless router sits less than 24 inches...
  14. CS 6 Illustrator Upgrade Still Available

    Although they don't show it on their web page anymore, Adobe currently allows you to upgrade to a "stand alone" (not Creative Cloud) version of Illustrator CS6 if you have a version of Illustrator eligible for upgrade. Cost is $249 + your state's sales tax. You have to call their order line on...
  15. Do you follow a business guru?

    I’m curious to find out how many people follow any of the so called business guru’s out there. I’ve spent several years “sampling” what some of the bigger names are saying, and I’ve come to the conclusion that a good many of them are nothing more than a lot of hype. The biggest complaint I...
  16. Adobe CC6: Can I purchase CS6 Stand Alone Upgrade Still?

    Due to an extremely large Illustrator file, I had to sign up for Adobe Creative Cloud Illustrator CC6 to finish this project. The 64 bit program is noticeably faster, and doesn't "hang" during saves. Is it possible to purchase a "stand alone" version of CS6, or am I for ever indebted to Adobe...
  17. "Old World" still tops high-tech...

    It's even older than "old school"...and since my dad's passing back in April, I've been working through the grief process by journaling with an "old world" hand-crafted Italian leather journal and a fountain pen (yep, the kind with wet ink). With a mug of freshly ground dark roast coffee, the...
  18. The things we do for love....

    I'm a cat "liker"....my wife is the cat lover. I took her on a day-long date to the Friends of Felines Rescue Center in Defiance, OH today. I volunteered for the photo. But after the photo was taken, the little gray one hopped up on me, and in his (or her) excitement left a small love gift of...
  19. Griefshare.org

    Has anybody here on the forum been through a GriefShare course? It's been nearly a month since my father's passing, and I'm ready to move toward the next step of healing. Griefshare.org (http://www.griefshare.org) has a local church that sponsors a group, but it will be a few months before it...
  20. A Promise to Dad and Myself

    Long before dad's passing two weeks ago, I had been doing a lot of thinking. Things really settled in this morning when I disposed of his 25+ medications he'd been on. The majority of the meds were for self-inflicted maladies due to a sedentary lifestyle, poor eating habits, etc.... As I...
