[NF] Scanned images and Quick Books
by Joe Yoder 19 Jan '18

19 Jan '18

I've been handling my accounting by capturing financial items with a Neat scanning system, massaging exported Neat data to create IIF files, and importing them to Quick Books. The system works but something that allows drill down to the original image directly from Quick Books would work much better. I have assumed that by now Intuit has the means to store and retrieve scanned images from inside at least one of their products. When I connected with a rep on their site I was referred to a Small Business Consultant who assured me that both their desktop and online products do what I want. I asked for some links to videos on their site that demonstrate their implementation. He promised to Email them to me but that has not happened. I Emailed and left voice but he has not gotten back to me. After waiting a week I restarted the process on the Intuit site. I was told that someone would get back to me but that has not happened. At this point I am wondering if what the consultant told me was incorrect and no one in their system is willing to admit that they don't support access to scanned imges. It may be that they rely on third party developers to provide such capabilities. Does someone know if there is a way to store and retrieve scanned images from within Quick Books? If not - have another product to recommend? Thanks in advance, Joe Yoder --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

[NF] Printer brands
by Paul Newton 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

Hi all I am having ongoing problems with my Lexmark X543 multifunction colour laser printer (with automatic duplex). It seems that it would be uneconomic to repair so I am looking for a replacement. So far I have shortlisted three models from three different manufacturers - HP, Brother and OKI. I am tempted by the OKI (MC562dnw) because it is shipped with 2K toners and has a free 3 year on-site warranty. Has anybody had experience (good or bad) with printers from this manufacturer? I am not that keen on the HP (LaserJet Pro M281fdw) because it uses a composite CMY cartridge instead of separate C, M and Y cartridges. Thanks Paul Newton

We have used Brother printers exclusively here for well over a decade and we've been very happy with them. Brother color laser printers can be quite expensive to operate, because you need four toner cartridges (@ US $50 to $60) to provision the printer. Brother high-capacity color laser printers themselves are fairly expensive as well (around US $400-$600). Unlike black & white laser printers, though, it can be cost-effective to replace the color laser drum (around US $150) when it wears out. We limit use of the color laser printers here to small runs (100 copies or fewer); for larger runs people use the printer to generate an original and we have a color copier to make the copies. When people follow that rule, the drums last for several years and the toner consumption is acceptable. Beyond that, the main issue I have with color printers generally is the help desk support; people have to realize that they have to calibrate their software if they expect documents to come out of the printer with the same colors they see on their monitors, and they also have to understand that the ony real way to get a truly "professional" result is to create a PDF and send it off to an actual print shop.

VFP9SP2/Windows 10 and Blat
by Desmond Lloyd 17 Jan '18

17 Jan '18

> > Mostly VFP... Been using Blat to send out emails for years, evidently so long that I can't remember how to set it up (so to speak) Copied the Blat.dll file to a folder on my Windows 10 machine, when trying to send an email I get an error message cannot load 32-bit dll???? Am "assuming" this will work with Windows 10? Suggestions to get this to work? Thank You and Regards, Desmond --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Another Kind of Fox...
by Kurt at VR-FX 17 Jan '18

17 Jan '18

Hey there folks, I thought some of you might find this interesting. A guy on this other forum I am on - its a 3D Printing forum - just posted the below message. And, I know there is at least ONE of you on there besides myself that has a 3D Printer. And, I suspect you may want to try printing out this Fox. Although - the main reason the guy posted this is because its a discussion about 3D Scanning - and as you will see the previous Title of the email thread - this other guy is having a lot of problems with this 3D Scanning setup - and that's why he said it SUCKS. Anyway - am hoping some folks on here might find this kind of interesting. And, of course, it is Fox 'related'... -K- -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [3dprintertipstricksreviews] Re: 3D Capture S*CKS Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2018 21:49:15 -0800 (PST) From: 'scienteer' via 3D Printer Tips, Tricks and Reviews <3dprintertipstricksreviews(a)googlegroups.com> Reply-To: 3dprintertipstricksreviews(a)googlegroups.com To: 3D Printer Tips, Tricks and Reviews <3dprintertipstricksreviews(a)googlegroups.com> I did this scan with VisualSFM amd MeshLab. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2436510 Took a lot of clean up effort on the point cloud before creating the mesh. I also replaced the eyes with some sphere primatives and re ran the texturing on the new combined model. Previously the eyes were sunken and not accurate. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Re: [NF] C=64 on the internet

Maybe a serial port connection, and use Kermit? Or, type out the files (or print), directed at a serial port, and collect them on the other end with a simple program that captures the data stream? *Brant Layton* 480.964.1316 On 1/13/2018 8:57 AM, profoxtech-request(a)leafe.com wrote: > Re: [NF] C=64 on the internet --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Include (.H) files

Wanted to get your 2 cents....if .H include files are simply used at compile time, there would be no need to include them in the EXE, right? tia, --Mike

[NF] It turns out "My Cloud" is "everybody's Cloud"
by Ted Roche 08 Jan '18

08 Jan '18

Western Digital shipped a limited number of models of their "My Cloud" NAS devices with a hard-coded root username and password built in. The recommendation is to disconnect them, at least from internet (and perhaps network) access. https://www.techspot.com/news/72612-western-digital-cloud-drives-have-built… -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com
