Oh, and the new platesetter we desperately need. And the Epson that's about the throw it's belt.

But since it works, it's good, right? The dots don't have to be the same.

Was just at microcenter to pick up a new computer for the front office. Besides the myriad of smells that was here it seemed to be let's buy a computer day. Since I was waiting quite a while I putzed around with the laptops. A lot of them were nice and shiny, all metal touch but they still felt like floppy plastic. I was less then impressed with most of them but there were a few that caught my eye.

I still want to get the boss to buy me a new laptop because reasons but should I look into just getting a copy of preps 6? Would that allow me to update OSX without having to upgrade everything? I have EVO so all I need is a .jdf file. Preps 6 spits them out, correct? EVO doesn't have the impo integration like full blown prinergy.

I don't even know if you can still buy Preps 6 because it is obsolete. The latest is Preps 7.5 and yes it can spit out a .jdf or a .pjtf. Take your pick.

CC would only be if I got the laptop as well. Hearing the horror stories I don't want to stop using 5 as it works just fine... on old ass OSes.

I'm listening to the SiL bitching how she's going from XP to Win7 and how everything will be different and such. Her son just tells her to be quiet and take the 5 files you use daily, put it on a USB and figure out where they moved everything in the new OS. It can be a pain in the ass but it's not the end of the world.

Well, it is when the bosses computer changes. Those are just hateful times. "how can they do this to me!", "this must be illegal somehow", "why did it change, it works fine just as it was" Mind you he ran a DOS based contact list until only a few years ago. I'm not a huge fan of change but it's really not he end of the world.

I still don't want to learn preps 7.  :angry:

On the plus side it is pretty much the same as Preps 6.

From what I've read that's not really a plus.  ;)

Yeah, it's not a good idea to defy a private company with a reactor.

Little did anyone know that inside those Dell servers is a miniature nuclear reactor that runs Prinergy. No wonder support costs an arm and a leg.
