| 556187 | 2007-06-06 10:46:00 | Billy- Greg's got my e-mail addy if you really want to keep Mrs B happy I've spent 20+ years trying to keep Mrs T happy, with reasonable success, as much as any bloke can expect I guess, but I can always use a helping hand. There are 4 files to convert, so if you can help, PM me your email address and I'll send them tonight or tomorrow morning. It is Mrs T's birthday tomorrow so it will make a nice surprise for her if we can pull it off! Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 556190 | 2007-06-06 12:28:00 | What size are the files? +/- a meg each. Billy, I emailed you Shortcircuit's address, but will PM it you now as well. |

| 556192 | 2007-06-06 20:44:00 | Well, I sent the files to Shortcircuit last night and now wait with bated breath to see what transpires! Mrs T liked her cards and presents and has toddled off to work with a smile on her dial (unusual this early in the day, she is DEFINITELY NOT a morning person), the sun is shining here in Jaffaville, TNZ 5-0, giving Alinghi team a serious dose of the skitters, so all is well here at Chez Billy. Thanks to everybody for their input and offers of assistance, IMHO PF1 is unmatched anywhere for the breadth of knowledge and helpfulness of its members. The absence of L33T Sp3ak is a blessing too! Cheers Billy 8-{) :thumbs: |

| 556193 | 2007-06-07 06:40:00 | Sorry Billy/Greg... I was sort of 'out to lunch' but have now completed the task and have e-mailed Billy the files back. We may both have to run from Mrs T if it doesn't work :eek: |

| 556195 | 2007-06-07 06:59:00 | If it doesn't it won't be your fault mate! At worst it'll come down to Mrs T having to desex Mr T and then flower designs becoming the new avant garde in window decorations! :eek: I'd hate to be responsible for someone having their pet neutered, but I will stand by my tattered repution and say that it 'should' work. Ain't nutthin wrong with flowers, just not in MY house :D |

| 556196 | 2007-06-08 10:35:00 | Well folks, there's good news and there's bad news. First the good news: Shortcircuit's conversion did indeed produce a genuine EPS vector graphics file. Additional good news is that thanks to Greg and SC (plus an inspired choice of birthday present) I earned enough brownie points to stay alive for another week, and Mrs T is still undecided on ultimate termination or perhaps keeping me around as an occasional boudoir plaything for a while yet. The bad news is that the background history of the file (scanned at hi-res from hard copy) was not the best, and when they blew it up to check the graphics, they found that at very high magnification it was composed of dots, not solid black so the computer cutter can't follow it. That means that we can't do the window film at all, despite everybody's best efforts. Of course the other moderately good news is that I won't have to look at the darned thing every day for the rest of my life, which suits me just fine because I've seen quite enough of it over the past weeks to last me a lifetime. On to plan B, a nice girlie curtain! Thanks again to everybody for their input on this, and to SC for getting it to a conclusion, even if it wasn't as successful as Mrs T might have wished. Cheers Billy 8-{) :) |
