  6. Union/Political Print Shop?

    Depends on the union. A business union of affiliated businesses can get together to set pricing for an area ... sort of a non-compete sort of thing where they won't lower pricing to rock bottom pricing as well as to help negotiate local legislation in that industry. Also even small shops can...
  7. Am I supposed to care?

    I wouldn't feel bad for anyone who tries half the b.s. they try with checks.

Told him that if he wants to...

    Tried that, doesn't work with the newest protexis version ... somepeople said they got it to work .. i didn't. (could also be the trial version chokes without it) I guess I will try fully uninstalling and registry wiping corel 12 AND corel x5 then reinstall see if it works ... it's enough to...

    Seriously, is anyone else having problems with x5? I'm trying to justify buying the software, but on all 3 machines it's crashing ... hard. Can't really find a work around either so if you did encounter crashing .. how did you fix it? Is anyone running x4 encountering these crazy crashes? ...
  12. Corel draw x5 and protexis

    I downloaded the x5 trial and now I have all this protexis garbage attached to the software and in my services on my system. Also, my system log is showing crashes when I export out to jpg or gif as well as when I convert outline to an object ... all related to protexis ... Is anyone else...

  19. Buying our first home

    For the love of all that is unholy ... ask for about home owners associations (and get a copy of the guidelines they set forth), find out the taxes on the property, and if there are any deed restrictions. Too many people I know got the house they thought they could grow into only to find out...
  20. Are All-Star baseball parents everywhere insane?

    Oh, I set the ball running with the baseball moms ahead of time... told them that just to do one or two signs at a time would be 50-80% higher priced due to the work required ... only one mom came in at a time getting 6-12 signs for all the teams parents that wanted on. made it much easier and...
