Do you still call it a Master Bedroom? Most people have moved on to call it a Primary Bedroom, as the term Master Bedroom harks from slavery days.

Speaking of the Dark Side, yesterday I was looking for something, and I came across the post where the guy called us a bunch of 12 year olds (well, it was before I joined, so he called you all a bunch of 12 year olds). I still keep my age at 12 on this forum for that reason (DCS had filled me in on the story years ago), but I noticed Joe's age changed to 69. Not sure if that's a joke or not, but I enjoy seeing everyone's age at 12.

That's true.

My Mom's parents are both deceased and my Dad passed away 17 years ago, and I ignore her.

Quote from: Joe on May 07, 2024, 03:32:06 PMHow a couple lost thousands after responding to Apple security scam

If you're that stupid to fall for, "buying gift cards," then you deserve to get swindled. Let's think about this logically... you know you didn't do anything wrong, and let's say someone did remote into your iPad... what site were you on that allowed the attacker to gain access? Maybe you're NOT so innocent after all...

$15,000? Hell no. I'd take my iPad to ewaste for shredding, and for $600 I'd buy a new one.

If I were really paranoid I'd go buy a new router with a VPN and configure my devices to connect through the VPN. I do that anyways so I can get out of market sports, or watch local teams that got blacked out.

I once had an Italian-American boss who claimed to be offended by Burger King's Whopper.

I got an email recently; an invoice from PayPal saying that my payment was declined. Obviously it was phony, because I don't have a PayPal account. I have told the old people in my life to ignore all of that stuff. Who's still falling for these scams?

I am doing an implicit bias training course online right now, and I DO realize the insensitivity behind MASTER pages, but that's what CWS calls them. They really need to change the name the name to SHELL or do like InDesign and change it to PARENT.

Order from here and see if they can overnight it. It's only about 6-8 hours from San Diego. And no, Sierra Nut House is not an asylum.

If quality is of any concern, I wouldn't compress anything. What I might do, in a rare pinch, is make two files. One that is an all raster pdf not compressed, and one that is all vector pdf. Drop both files into Command Workstation and impose them both identically. Then, make the raster file a MASTER and treat the vector file as an IMPRINT. CWS will process the file much more quickly in this fashion and you won't lose quality.

They were for cards, badges, and envelopes
the customer redid the data with shorter titles for the badges.
the didn't like the small font they ended up with. 

I had a training course to take online and they showed this and I thought of you, Tracy

Hard to put 10lbs. of shit in a 5lb. bag.

At my last job, we had an in-house guy that did all the list fixing/sorting using Satori. If there was any kind of issue, we kicked it back to him and he took care of it.

Previously, we worked with a mail house. That's what I recommend you do. You send them the file and they sort it/correct it and send it back to you. Usually as long as they do the folding/stuffing/mailing, they discount the cost of list work. If you do that in-house, then your boss needs to get you the software and training.

If it's VDP only with no mailing/sorting (this is based on mail permits and if you use a permit it has to be done and bundled a certain way before it goes to the post office), then the salespeople need to be retrained to sell the additional work it takes to fix the lists.
