Thanks Jim!

Thanks Luke!

Thanks Chris!  

Thanks Eric!  I appreciate the info and offer.  The ability to xref dwg files in is good to know and a definite plus.

Thanks for the response Andrew.  At my last office I had purchased a few licenses of LT in order to try and save some money and they worked out ok, though we did eventually end up going back to all full versions.  I do most of my 3D work in SketchUp and Rhino and Solidworks so I could probably get away with using LT as well.  My biggest issue is…[Read more]

Hi Robert:
Thanks for the response and great questions!  I’m in the process of setting up my own firm so it will be used for all firm based work, which is fairly small at the moment but growing.  At the moment I am using an A.C. 2016 license from my office but that’ll only last as long as I’m working there.  At the moment my primary computer is ru…[Read more]

Actually New Jersey has a state specific section as well.

This is the best response I have ever read!  I remember those days…good times!!  Thank you for putting a smile on my face this afternoon.

What are the changes? I find it hard to believe they can take any credit away for previously passed sections as they would have happened before the change and should be “grandfathered” in. What kind of a notice was sent out? Does the state you’re in have a Board of Architects (might be part of the Board of Ed as it is in some states) Or Office of…[Read more]

Ohhhh…I miss doing plans and renderings by hand!! I love doing up graphics on the computer but there’s still nothing like good ol’hand graphics!!

HP’s seem to be hit or miss. Both my new and old laptops are HP and I’m pretty happy with them. Like you though, they’re higher end models and well furnished power wise. I do like my old one better..though that was top top of the line…cost me close to 3000 bucks…even the sales rep I spoke to said he was jealous…lol. My new one is ok but not…[Read more]

Was definitely my misunderstanding.  Thanks for clarifying.
 
As far as my questioning your interest in Apple, it was not meant to be offensive….was more simply a question to understand your interest in the company and was asked because you had mentioned it as affording you a retirement later in life a few times.  Again was really just trying to…[Read more]

Wow Bob….for two guys who couldn’t agree on computers to save their lives, we are side by side on this.  Well put!!

Hi Greg:
 
Thanks for the response!  I appreciate it. 
 
Yeah, unfortunitely this thread went from helping someone to a “mine’s better then yours” volleyball match pretty quick…myself very much one of those to blame.
 
I totally can understand and agree with your points.  Change can definitely be hard and as someone who has maintained a multi…[Read more]

So is that the real and only reason you like Apple….because you have shares in their stock?  Who’s to say I or Jared don’t?  I actually do, have for some time now.  Your argument to me above was actually pretty pointless other then to say Apple is #1 and here’s a few links.  Or was it just to say that I don’t have a ‘real job’ and I’m just an…[Read more]

Real job?  If I’m understanding your profle correctly, you and I have the about the same years of experience of which I have been gainfully employed since graduation.  A little bit of research goes a long way….trying looking up my profile and the firm I work for before offering up an unqualified comment.  If you’re mentioning it because of am…[Read more]

I don’t think that’s what he meant.  The point is that those jobs are only there because we pay taxes.  They’re not making anything, selling anything, etc.  They’re just there.  Don’t get me wrong, some of those jobs are absolutely necessary but the problem comes with how much those jobs cost the public at large and the fact that most, not all…[Read more]

Exactly!

Creating government jobs is not the same as creating private sector jobs.  Every goverment employee costs the tax payers money…a lot of money.  Between salary, overtime, benefits, perks, vacation days, mandatory raises, ect. that all comes out of our, the tax payers, pockets.  They may be creating a job but it’s one that’s costing the cou…[Read more]

Good thread!
