    The only thing I can think of is something from the Hexis book... there is a section for commercial window films. We've just used some of this stuff on our building and it's a dream to use... sadly the only thing we were interested in was keeping the heat out so the only numbers I paid any...

  4. what do you hate about your software?

    If I want the word "Helvetica" to have a cap H height of EXACTLY 25mm all I've got to do is type in the capital H... lock X & Y scaling and punch in 25mm.

  10. Customer just fired me!

    If you walked into the local mall and asked to buy a pair of luminous Orange flares, Purple stack heels and a nice Lime Green tuxedo jacket would the shop assistant eject you from the building or simply smile and said "certainly sir, and how would you like to pay for that"? As OP says... make...

Try oberonplace.com.. the product you are...

  15. Buying a commercial building - what to consider, ask?

    Future capital gains aren't really an issue here. Sure, it would be nice if your building was worth a chit load more at some unspecified date in the future but it's not essential; unlike property speculators we don't have to rely on short term capital gains to make money. We rented for 15 years...
  16. FSpro 7.6 v.2 ...No HASP Replacement from SAI??
