Could someone uncompress an ai file for me????

Gerry did invest in his company.

And then the trucking company destroyed it.

Chit happens.

[Frog]

hey Frog..there are a ton of people here who will tell you I help out but at least once a week or every two weeks Gerry is here asking for the same thing....come on.  this is what I was talking about on the M&R world record post.  invest in your company.

just do it!

Like I said, we should all know when we reach that tipping point.

Another solution that some seem too bashful or embarrassed to try is to ask the client or artist for a file tailored to our requirements.

[Socalfmf]

so EB...are you saying he didn't invest very well since one company took down another?  he should have separated the two so things like that NEVER happen.  just like people who put up their homes against the business - not a smart move!

I'm afraid I don't follow.

Pretty sure that if the Queen of England shipped me a freaking teacup
and the freight co. broke it I'd be in the same boat?

I'm unaware of any manufacturer that ships using their own trucks and drivers?

Sam's head is too far in the wrong place to follow.  He is thinking about Gerry's attempt to diversify into the paint business.  He's not talking about the part where Gerry bought an M&R press and the freight company wrecked it.

Whoops, hey, even the best fail. Right Sam?

[Socalfmf]

yeah...you are talking about him going into the trucking business.  am I wrong?  or are you talking about the trucking company ruining his press?  and even if so what does that have to do with him buying a program?

If anyone thinks they are going to Heaven for helping another screenprinter I am afraid I have some inside info and it's not going to happen.. I personally am doing a lot of animal rescue work think I have a better chance

Although I strongly believe that that the decency and humanity of a society can be judged by their general attitude towards and treatment of animals, I also feel that those who feel joy in helping others with no expectation of other reward are truly blessed.
A society with both attributes will thrive.

I fear that we are on the way down like others before us throughout history.

Oh well, we all do what we can.

btw, we're picking up our new rescue boy next week. Seven months without a dog is enough.
Pictures to follow in an appropriate thread.

Dlac, Thank you so much for your ministry. Try having a sense of humor. First, I'm nice to everyone, and help everyone I can, not that I have to verify it to you. Secondly, did you miss when Jesus told us not to make a show of our religion? Stop bragging, just do the work and go on your way without expecting accolades. Now that I have that out of my system, have a great 4th, and God bless.

Yeah $50 bucks a month makes a difference. Over the past few months my overhead increased over 100% by moving into this building that was meant to house 2 businesses, got ripped off for 10k, bought a press that the trucking co destroyed so im out over 8k, took my brother off the streets and supporting him, got kicked out of our condo cause the owner was selling it so had to move into a new house on short notice and pay a little more per month. Lets see what else.... That's all ill share at the moment...

I can
t speak for Gerry, but though I also need Illy help on occasion, I very much doubt that it would return my investment of $600 in a year. (of course, I tend to do smaller runs than many here)

I  often also find myself walking aspiring digital Da Vinci's through the process of giving me usable files, by explaining the "Convert Text to Outlines" and the compression default (not so much with CorelDRAW X6 any more)

What I'll never seem to lick is the way that nothing ever seems grouped as real objects, but rather sometimes hundreds of tiny slivers!

Gerry never lay out your problems in an open forum like this, there will be some that will bash every decision you made and liberally tell you what you did wrong. Its pointless and sad, many of us have problems in life sometimes bad c=decisions sometimes bad luck, no need to give the sharks bait to belittle you.

Mike

not trying to belittle...trying to show him he is losing more than 50 bucks a month by posting it here, waiting for a response, getting it, doing it ect.   if he had the program he would have been done in less time than it would have taken him to write this post and he could be on to something else that is MAKING HIM MONEY!  that is the key.  making money
