I can say quite matter-of-factly that I was never on that shelf! I have been photoshopped!

Very strange indeed. I felt so bad for the older looking gentleman and the guy they decided to crowd surf! Oh well, if you have the time and you really enjoy scaring the c@&p out of people…..

Oops! So sorry, I have corrected this entry so that TerryB doesn’t think I am purposely trying to minimize his point totals.

Hi All,

Ron Hamilton reminded me that I never got around to posting the answers to this thread. Sorry about that although it seemed like everyone was having fun with it.

Here ya go:

I would like to wish you all a belated Happry New Year. Let us all hope and pray for a bettter year in 2011!

Good one Don. Funny though, I always thought it was “Our Father who Art in Heaven,….”

Try not to smile while watching this. ITS IMPOSSIBLE!

You are right Catz, can’t watch it without smiling. I was especially amazed when I discovered that the times the dog appears to lunge at the baby’s face is actually its attempts to lick the baby’s face. What a great dog, but then collies are one of my favorites.

Hi Alan, What kind of documents are we talking about here. Are they all MS Word docs? If they are have you considered using the ‘Keywords’ field that you can find under the documents ‘properties’? I find using this has helped in the past when looking for a specific document. Of course there is Google Desktop which seems to be very good at finding things as well.

Just a thought here.

You are quite welcome Mickey.. The way I figure it I have better things to do than to sift through all of their specs and decipher them. That is what they get paid to do so let them do it.

You are so right.

If this had been my task from the beginning I might have actually thought of this. Instead it is a project that someone else (higher up) that is/was the lead who then assigned it to me when it became apparent that they had messed around so long that it was not going to complete on time. Now it is their success and my failure. Yeah!

Why not try this and save yourself a huge headache.
Send out an RFQ, in a format that you choose, listing the items you want on it such as PPM etc, and stipulate that their RFQ must be on the sheet that you have attached.
Worked for me albeit not for printers.

Have the providers fill that in and send back to you. If they want your business badly enough they will fill it out, if they don’t Oh well!

Well where were you 8 to 10 weeks ago?! I wish I had thought of that back when this whole process started. Great idea t8nt! Oh well, I will keep that in mind when we go to re-negotiate.

Hi,

So you want a cost comparison. Put cost of the old one in to colum A and new one to B. The for C colum =IF(A2>B2,A2-B2,B2-A2)
First it checks witch value is larger and the counts the difference based on the larger value.
Attached example file.

Not sure if this is what you want?

Hi Matti,

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually I am creating an excel file that allows me to compare a number of network printer related items. For example, cost (as you mentioned and always important), PPM (printed pages per minute both B&W and Color), cost associated with the PPM, monthly and annual print allowances, costs for over-printing, etc.

We are in the process of looking into replacing some network printers and I am getting quotes from all over and I need a way to concisely gather the information together to assist in determining which is the best-bang-for-the-buck solution. This also helps me try to boil it down to an apples-to-apples comparison as each vendor has their own, unique way of presenting the same information.

Thanks again for the suggestion and Welcome to Windows Secrets! As I am sure you have already noticed, this is a great place to seek knowledge and assistance (not to mention some really great online friends)!

Great! Now we have alien chickens getting in on the act! Probably a reaction to that new offering from KFC!

This also explains why we have had such a hard time photographing them, they are too …..

wait for it…..

…….chicken!!

Wow! A dog like that would be ‘handy’ to have around!

Hey Catz! That was really fun to watch. Never seen a joey doing that before.

That really was amazing and so wonderful to look at. Thank you so much for sharing that with us!

Now this one is Photoshopped.

Are you sure? It looks pretty life like to me! Too funny Catz, thanks for sharing that one.
