It's been a rough time for our family, but we are thankful and blessed he didn't linger or have any pain. We were all there, and I held his hand as he quietly slipped away. If you've ever wondered, it is still possible to do some of the things "the way they used to do"... The funeral...

A few days ago, I began noticing a strange pattern of bird droppings on the mirrors of my truck door. At first glance I thought it was frost, but as the temperatures warmed, I knew it had to be something beyond that. Then, one afternoon I heard the lonesome call of a Cardinal in search...

Ok...this is driving me nuts. I mainly use Illustrator, SignLab and AutoCAD and I've just started using Omega last month. I need need to know how to trim a line at an intersection. I've looked through the Omega help menu and even on Youtube, but to no avail. My artwork needs to be...

I'd love to attend the event, but I'm looking forward to attending a live simulcast. Anybody here going? http://www.chick-fil-aleadercast.com/ JB

I'm looking for this rather unique Heberew typeface, complete with numerals. Anybody have any trustworthy sited to download from? Paid is ok. Thanks, JB

Well, I've just about completed my collection of S. Truett Cathy's books. He's the founder of Chik-fil-A. Four of my books are autographed, and I'd be interested to find an autographed copy of "Wealth, Is it Worth It?". There's also another book that he co-authored with Ken Blanchard...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCGyAgunqH4 I was just graduating high school when this came out, but I still remember it like it was yesterday. Feel free to post your favorite (Country) blast from the past. JB

I just started using Omega and can't find how to assign vinyl colors to text. All I see it outlined text. In SignLab or Illustrator, it's just a simple color fill, but I looked in the help menu and didn't find that. Thanks in advance. JB

As any good business owner knows, our real competitors aren't the ones across the street. They're the ones in our head. And it's usually about this time of the year when complacency can begin to settle in. "Soft" choices and indecision can be real business killers. I'm planning to do...

Just got a copy of Omega 5 LS today and ran it through the paces with Adobe Illustrator CS5, SignLab 8 and AutoCAD 2000i. Since we do monument sandblasting, we mainly do line art and a lot of text. Overall, the files interact well with other in .ai, .eps, .dwg and .dxf formats...

Just wondering if the dongle for Omega 5 Layout Station looks the same as a regular Gerber CS / CP dongle (purple) or is it different? Thanks, Jim

Looking for this one... Thanks, Jim

"You can see a lot...just by observing" - Yogi Berra The winter months are my favorite time to take a step back and get a better look at the big picture. For the past year, I've been working out the wrinkles of a 5S program, (the buzzword in lean mfg. for good housekeeping). And while...

I’ve tried just about every method to help me keep organized when it comes to scheduling jobs, and I think I might have found what works best for me. While working part time for a Japanese manufacturing company for the past three months, I’ve been able to glean a bunch of good ideas when it...

Since we do monument work, approx. 99% of the artwork we do is comprised of line art and typefaces. We already use SignLab, Adobe Illustrator and AutoCAD and we are looking to add Gerber Omega early next year in order to expand our design and layout capabilities, and our typeface library...

I had to have my CPA file for an extension with our taxes this year. I dropped of all my precisely detailed paperwork to him on April 14, and he said it wouldn't be a problem. Well, today it became a problem. I've been on him at least four times this summer, and his assistant always...

We typically do stone and monument engraving and were asked by a funeral home to etch their tinted doors. Since funeral homes eventually change ownership over the years, I suggested that they use a frosted vinyl on the glass instead of etching. I've heard of something called Etchmark, but I'm...

Yep...this just about sums it up...and gives new meaning to the phrase "thrown for a loop". JB

Although some would think it a bit awkward, my brother and I have chosen this time of year to sit down with our (aging) parents to do a yearly review of their financial affairs, current medical needs/doctors/meds, funeral plans, dad's VA information, and other assorted information (right down to...
