You have it backwards. You have to EVICT them.

I/my business have owned 4 panel vans. One was an IVECO that had a 5+m long by 2+m tall interior. I'd much rather haul a tall load enclosed. If I ever needed to haul something taller, I could always rent a pickup or a real truck, and not being saddled by the pickup's shortcomings everyday.

Pickups have their uses, and I never denied that, I just say that most pickups don't do pickup duty, and that a lot do panel van duty.

I believe they are sublimation printers, which require specific inks and papers. I seem to remeber that they produce very long lasting prints, which ordinary inkjets (even pigment) can't achieve.

What in hell is comforting about that picture?

I've never understood why so many people in the US buy pickups. City dwellers? Why? People in most trades? Panel van > pickup. Farmers or ranchers? Makes sense.

Corel was, and still is, used in a lot of industries, like signmaking, embroidery, etc. It has been losing share in the general vector graphics space for years though.

I'll gladly pay a premium for something that will be "buy it for life" or at least last decades. Phones and computers have inherent obsolescence, but most tools don't. I don't buy chinesium tools, I buy reputed European, American, or Japanese tools, the lifetime stuff.

Quick question: is Aurora dev desktop plus dev stuff, or less desktop stuff?

The good, the bad, and the ugly . Tapas or hamburger.
