I'm not familiar with it. But if it does the same kind of thing as Norton Ghost (or even a better job in doing the same duties) then it would be worth checking out.

It's just as simple to run a copy of Norton Ghost and back up your C:\ partition to an external hard disc drive. This is absolutely what I recommend. Especially when it comes to things like a virus attack. One button backups are easy and can really save your bacon if someone slips up and allows...

NTFS will probably still be the hard drive file table standard when Vista is released. The new FAT standard Microsoft has been working on will probably not ship for another couple years. And anyway, NTFS works for enough purposes for the near future. The problem with SATA RAID lies mainly with...

That sounds just like the sort of comments I heard over ten years ago when a mere 2GB hard disc was big. "You don't need all that space." Another critical thing to consider: most people want any new computer they buy to work for at least a few years. Over time, applications sizes and the work...

Actually, its quite easy to fill 250GB...if you're messing around with more than just vector-based CorelDRAW files. For instance, I have lots of billboard designs and other grand format jobs in Photoshop format. Most are at least several hundred megabytes in size. A growing number go well past...

<!-- / message --><!-- controls --> If some customer told me he wanted to pay only $5 - $6, I would chase him off our premises with a baseball bat...or far worse. That kind of insult demands a beating. :cool:

Maybe the customer's JPEG logo was too low in resolution. If the job wasn't worth very much money at all, I would not sweat losing the deal. A sign maker should not have to work for nothing trying to fix someone else's unprofessional trash artwork. I realize one has to do all sorts of things...

If you're doing strictly 2D stuff, Matrox is by a very wide margin the best out of anything available. The 3D thing in a production environment can become an issue if you need any OpenGL acceleration. 3D gaming is not the only thing which demands this. If you mess around with 3D applications...

I could be wrong, but I smell a troll. He's willing to spend "thousands" but is looking to decorate that "thousands" costing product with some low cost clip art? Hmm.....

I'm still very far from being "sold" on using any integrated video chip solutions for any kind of production oriented graphics computer. First, the electronics sales people at any Best Buy or whatever retail store du jour all have a vested interest in trying to push off the garbage they cannot...

Actually, integrated video chips are not very good except for entry level computer use. There's no way I'll use a computer in such a configuration. I even waited a few months before buying my Dell notebook. The first Inspiron 6000 models had only integrated Intel graphics chips and ran fairly...

I have seen IllustratorCS2 refuse to "see" certain fonts brought in by customers. One had a Type 1 version of Advertisers Gothic that would show up fine in CorelDRAW but not appear in the font menu of IllustratorCS2. It didn't show up regardless of whether it was installed using the Windows...

The very issue of "jaggies" being present shows an issue with Gerber Omega not importing the vector-based artwork correctly. I still must wonder if Gerber is not actually important a low resolution TIFF header bitmap rather than the actual vector-based objects. As I stated before, I have seen...

One question remains: what kind of artwork is getting imported into Gerber Omega? Is it raster? Or is it vector? If it is vector-based then there really should be some method to use in Gerber Omega to eliminate those jaggies. If it doesn't allow that then I would have to say Gerber Omega has a...

It sounds like Gerber Omega is importing the .EPS file as a rasterized bitmap (which is really wrong). Isn't there some way to make that monkey import vectors? Just asking, I don't use that program.

There's one thing about CorelDRAW X3 I really like which threw me quite a bit at first: the different way how control points are indicated on objects when you have the shape tool active. Nodes that are close together have "callouts" pointing to them rather than stacking numerous points on top of...

I just used istockphoto for a hawk image to use on a sign this week. $5 for a photo in the resolution I downloaded sure beats the prices of a lot of other sites by a pretty wide margin.

I wouldn't happen to be that person, would I? If so, the "solution" of changing various settings (such as undo levels) did nothing to help. Just through simple nudging I have been able to get that awful Corel A.R.M. box pop up on several different machines. Basically, I disagree with the...

I think the "Extreme" part is custom hand-drawn lettering, yet somewhat inspired by the typeface Neuland.

I take it you deny hacked copies of WinXP exist and are being sold? Urban legend? Don't imply I'm lying. This situation really happened. Further, I was not the person who ordered the POS machine. One of our sales guys made the deal with that shop and didn't "CYA" much less involve anyone else...
