    +1 for GG's design.

    I'd say that means you're almost at the point of equilibrium
  3. What did you learn from watching this?

    I should have clarified that to say the younger generation. But along with that, those of us more mature folks are constantly being conditioned this way also. Remember how we used to look forward to receiving a letter...in the snail mail? Now, we go nuts just because someone doesn't reply...
  4. What did you learn from watching this?

    That one was a real kicker...no sound back in those days. Do you notice a similar theme with these oldies? They take FOREVER to deveop a plot. Our generation seems to have developed the attention span of a fly, but back in those days, they took their time and savored the moment and...
  5. How do you store your fonts?

    I use Suitcase Fusion from Extensis. You can download a free 30 day demo at http://www.extensis.com It allows you to activate or deactivate fonts as needed and automatically works "on the fly" with most Adobe applications. There are also several other good font managers out there and...
  6. What did you learn from watching this?

    Wraps- I was browsing the web for information on sales training, and one site had it embedded on their page. I'll admit that it is a little dry, but if you make it through to the end, there's a nugget (or two) of truth to take home.
  7. What did you learn from watching this?

    Yep...it's really dated, but the message may still be relevant. It's almost 19 minutes long, but if you have a sales force, it might be worth the effort. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAB_5z5lPDM&feature=player_embedded
  8. no spare tire? Use a branch

    Let's see 'em try to back up!
  9. Font ID Please!!!

    Curious about "kilo" on the back door.
  10. Inspiration to make quality signs

    +1 for Dan's advice. I'm surprised why more people don't seem to care about investing this way. Forget about the stock market....better returns are available with your own God-given talent.
  11. New in the business

    Did you "shop" your market area before you took the plunge? If not, now's the time to do so. That will give you a better understanding of what your market will bear. But beyond that, your overhead and costs will ultimately dictate your prices. How do they compare with your competition...
  12. Bumper Sticker Printers?

    I like to use hot stamping for single color, small runs with no mess.
  13. Why is Business Writing So Awful?

    What a hoot! Don't you think we all should adopt this policy? Overall, a great article.
  14. Arrrggghhh! Withdrawal

    I thought you were talking about the fourm being down for a couple of days...that was my withdrawl issue. No amount of coffee can replace this place. Glad we're back online again.
  15. Digital equipment lease

    Cash is KING. Start small and grow at your own, healthy pace. It's not the most glamorous way but it sure is nice when you don't have a banker breathing down your neck when things are slow. Heed the warnings posted above, there's much wisdom to be learned.
  16. I know it's been said many times many ways..........

    Thanks to all who contribute time and effort to this forum. I appreciate the top quality knowledge, wisdom and gosh honest truth that springs forth from many of these discussions. I'm looking forward to a new year and trust that 2011 will be a prosperous year for our entire Signs 101 family.
  17. Starting a new business

    Very interesting concept...kinda sounds as easy as adding water to a Chia pet.
  18. CS5 educational

    I've used the academic cersion of Illustrator CS, and it was 100% functional and printed no "academic use only" watermarks. I would imagine newer software is the same. You can download a free 30 day, fully functional demo of the commercial software if you want to give it a test drive first.
  19. mounting of acrylic letters

    Ditto for Gemini letters. I believe they give you a printed template.
