I like it....and I want it, but I've decided to put my upgrade purchase on hold. It's got a few new bells and whistles, but not enough to make it a priority for this year. One of my goals this year is excercising better discipline and judgement when it comes to purchases. It's so dang...

I've been watching Ebay and they've been averaging somewhere around $850 - $1,0000, depending on the condition. For newbies just starting out and only using vinyl, they're a good deal. But for guys like me (monument companies), they're an absolute work horse and an industry standard. JB

Ditto...that's why I find myself copying out of SignLab and pasting into Illy for that feature. Not the most productive...but it works well. JB

If you have time, create a large file and compare open / save speeds to CS5...and file sizes. I've found one or two situations where a file created in CS6 (with all the identical photos and elements) is smaller than than CS5. I just want to see if it was a fluke...or the real thing...

Specifically...what problems are you experiencing with CS5? JB

I downloaded the Illy CS6 demo and have been playing around with it to see what it has. It doesn't appear to have that many new tools that I would use compared to CS5, but I really like the new interface and the new layout of the control panels. For some reason the darker interface is very...

Double check to make sure that your communication port settings didn't change somehow (com1 or com 2). JB

For any newbies wanting to get an older copy of 100% legitimate SignLab software, I've put a copy in ebay. Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SignLab-OE-Version-5-/330733990250?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d0148316a It comes with the CD, USB dongle, serial number and license...

Yep...and with thunder storms in February. JB

I wish I could have seen the look on the attorney's face during the initial patent filing. And oh, by the way...they have a sweet wrapped Mini Cooper on their home page. http://www.go-girl.com/

Chances are that the guy who spends his last $150 already has been gambling...and losing pitifully. Food stamps make this kinda crap waaaaay to easy. (And I'm not knocking those who really need them) Business is already risky enough....who needs to gamble away hard earned dollars? That...

Extremely happy to see a young man investing his time and money this way. Continue to educate yourself not only in the "hands-on" part of your business, but also in the "business" part of your business. In other words, work "ON" your business as you continue to work "IN" your business...

I engraved a company's logo into a boulder out by their driveway. JB

Ka-ching! People sure can leave a mess behind them in pursuit of the almighty dollar. JB

They come and go on Ebay. Most of the functional ones are still going for a premium if they have the LMK card. JB

Like all marketing resources, time is a precious commodity that needs to be allocated judiciously. You're correct about many "structured" networking opportunities...they're nothing but fruitless socialization unless you have some sort of plan beforehand. I always try to take a portfolio...

Ooops..didn't realize this had already been posted. JB

Looks like it's been a while since I had posted this....can't believe it's been nearly a year ago. Making a long story short...I took the aforementioned class and now have a business and marketing plan. In reality, it will never be done since there's always something to change and work...

This man deserves a purple heart....for patience in the line of duty! I love the way he nearly busts a gut. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qhm7-LEBznk JB
