No. Just stupid.

What is it you do then? You have some sort of printing bureau? As an
architect, I have a lot of experience in graphic design, using
Photoshop/Illustrator/Acrobat daily (also sometimes InDesign sometimes, and
Quark in the past). So I can easily suss you out.

What's wrong with you terry? Want to do battle with me? Are you feigning
stupidity or what? We have to install legacy apps that only run properly
on older os's so that we can nativity open the files correctly and as
they were created.
You should already know that, if you are as computer savvy as you say
you are.
So grow up terry. You're beginning to sound just like a stupid ignorant
as*hole!

Hey Frank. I cannot remember there being any significant design apps that
could not run in 2000/XP (essentially the same OS), that could run okay in
Win98. All serious apps would have been designed to run on NT workstations
well before XP ever came out.

Professional apps stopped support for Win9x as soon as they could, like
Adobe CS apps and a lot of 3D and CAD programs, so it worked the other way
around.

Vista has a lot of compatibilty problems with older software, and this is
much more than it was ever before, with previous new versions of Windows.

'Suss" me out? What the hell does that mean?
You're architect? Great, so is my brother.
We are an Advertising/Marketing Agency. If you'd paid attention you'd
have seen that I've posted that many times before. We get all kinds of
files, both walk in (mailed in and in person) and thru the Internet.
We have one box dedicated to new files. It has numerous OS's, old and
new and a very wide variety of old and new graphic/word processor apps
installed.
If the file is physically received, we disco the Internet/LAN connection
and run a virus check on the file first thing. If the file is to be
dl'ed, we disco the LAN, dl it and then run the virus check.
If all is well, we then make two copies of the original and create a
physical file to contain the original, (if available) or a copy of the
original dl'ed file that we've created.
As you only mentioned Adobe software, you may not be aware that there
are lots of other, very good, graphic software in use. And some
proprietary software files are not backward compatible. Did you know that?
The worst thing a company like mind could ever say to a paying customer
is…"sorry, but we can't open your file".
Now, call us stupid if you like, but we make a lot of money by being
able to accommodate most everyone's file.
We laugh all the way to the bank!

Errr...maybe it's your reading comprehension is a bit aria...I'm
agreeing to your statement that "As you know, the applications are of
relevance, and not the OS."
But of course, not all apps will run on all OS's, right.
Therefore we only run WinX apps on WinX OS’s.

Then you know what a dep or cft or an evy or ded or an rd4 or an opd
file is. Many of these file will only open using their original app
which in some cases is the only one ever made and will only install on
older WinX's.
Hell, even the latest opd file (v15) will not open in V14. Unbelievable
that a company would do that!
So, I'm not sure where you're going with this thread or what you're
trying to prove, but we've been in biz since the early '80's and have
done quite well with how we operate.
If it bothers you, and it sure seems to, then I can't do anything about
that.

A typical worthless comment. You said I don't have to deal with the
public. Little do you know.

Yes, I agree. Especially when he spoke of using VPC, it doesn't make
any sense that he would have those OS's at all.

I just keep calling him on what he states. He's the one that has to do
the explaining.

I guess that's deep for an idiot like you. You claim I'm an idiot and
then repeat what I said claiming it as your own. By your own logic
that makes you a big idiot then.

No, I just don't respect people who call people names and cuss at them
hiding behind a keyboard. If you want to call me names, name a place
and we'll meet. Then you can call me names like a man and not a child.

Now, care to name the software you use on Me, W2k and XP that
specifically only runs on those OS's? What ONLY runs on Me? What ONLY
runs on W2k? What ONLY runs on XP? You're the one making the statements.

Careful there meathead! You're on the verge of legally hurting yourself!
The reach of this keyboard to legal authorities far exceeds the
stupidity of your remarks.

This is where Frank comes back with more lies, insults and bluster, mark
my words. The *last* thing he will do is meet you. He's only brave when
sitting behind a keyboard with a beer in his hand.
