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

    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.
    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.


    If I'ze dumb enough to make the mistake, I'm humble enough to accept the correction.
    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!

    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.

    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.
