Doesnt the .gov have an app for that? Oh wait apparently they do.

What in the chit is your LAN being down Microsoft's problem? So if you unplug a cable or mis configure a NIC on your LAN thats MS 24/7 supports problem?

Our LAN isn't neccesarily Microsoft's problem. However, if it turns out to be an oddball Microsoft issue, I know I can get assistance from an absolutely huge knowledgebase. The chances of something in this system being the first occurrence of an issue is slim to none.

I may be new to this business but that is something I hate. Pass the cost to the customer for my ****UP. I didnt do that when I was an electrician, a warehouseman, and Im damn sure not going to do it now. If I do something that costs the end user more I will and have owned up to it.

I didn't pick the gentleman's office suite. He did. Despite gentle suggestions he continued on the path he laid out. At that point it's not my problem, it's his problem, and he assumes the costs associated with his arrogance.

Some people get butthurt when their spelling is corrected. Dont get butthurt for not giving a damn.

If I'ze dumb enough to make the mistake, I'm humble enough to accept the correction.

So you recognize that most LAN problems are local and no Microsofts fault.

So the gentleman in question is the A$$ because because you didnt ask what format to submit the file in? Ild say its you problem because you cost the customer more money.

Nope. I told him what formats were industry standard, and which platforms would accept them.

He decided to go his own way, he knew better.

I didn't cost him more money, he cost himself more money.

You just cant admit somebody chose the wrong printer can you?

In 1995, if you walked into a professional print shop in Boston, MA (ANY professional graphics/print shop) with a disk for MS, you were charged a minimum of $50-$150 for file conversion.

I'm not eating the file conversion charge because someone chose to work on a non-industry standard platform.

Wow. That post is such a contradiction I couldnt fathom the point if I was sober.

Ill try any way.

So you knew ahead of time you were going to be charged more for taking a MS formatted disk to the printer, but its not your fault the printer charged you extra for reformatting?

No, it's not my fault, because the end client insisted on using MS platforms, but wanted proofs printed from the files.
