"From small start-ups to larger organisations" and "we make it easier for companies to manage their business processes." I wonder if that means they will come over from the UK and help move lasers into your house ( I mean place of business)....?

One shouldn't knock anyone's spelling. Take a look what's happening overseas.
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.
The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer , ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.
If zis mad you smil, pas on to oza pepl.
Ja ?

Engraving Concepts is where I got my laser from, but it has nothing to do with them. I have a weird schedule and we haven't come up with a meet time yet so I am doing what I can and when Roy or Randy make it up this way, then we will get together.
Now for the door issue in getting it to fit...I would have to rip out the door frame itself to get this thing in the room, so even if I had gotten the door off its hinges, I still would have had an issue. Actually I would have two because now I would have to get the door back on the hinges.
Figured out the problem though( or at least found out how to work around it. I was going with a downloaded screensaver that was causing the glitches. I changed screen savers and haven't had any issues since. Of coarse I just now loaded the engraver driver, so we will see. I am running around all day tomorrow, so it will be Saturday before I can do a test run (per book instructions) to make sure everything was put in right. And if not, then I know where to go for help.
Thanks for the advice and the moral support from the ones who showed me that I am not the only one that has trouble fitting square pegs into round holes.

Hi Franklin .... I think I might have a solution to your Vista problem. Get Norton's Disk Partioner program and it will create any number of partitions you will need then instal XP under one of the new partitions and use the, I believe, dual boot-up option. This allows you to choose which OS you want to use. I have never utilized that but should work for you. I don't think you have to have an additional disk drive.
Good Luck!

When we purchased our 8 color automatic screen printing press (used), the company that we had bought it from was having a new 10 color installed in it's place. They failed to measure the garage door and when the new larger printer arrived, they were unable to fit it through...They literally had to take a chizel and hammer and remove several cinder blocks to bring the new equipment into their shop....It looked like something right out of a road runner cartoon only shaped like a press. ;)
It was funny to us....but I'm sure it was no fun for them.........
