I would love to here from any of you as to WHEN you get our Holiday mailer. We dropped it third class on Wednesday, always interesting how the boys in uniform do at meeting their appointed rounds...


Cheers, Roberto @ WINE EXPO

This time I gave the printer the stuff on a disk instead of printing out the art and HE ran a spell check that managed to turn "aioli" into "ail" and, in a bit about great soul music, "Motown" into "Motion" and "Stax" into "Sax". Aaaaaaaaaaarrrggggghhhhhhhh!

Thanks for reading, don't miss the fine print.

My dear Roberto--never leave the proofing to a printer.

I didn't leave it to him, I and my associates went through it for three days due to all the whack names and my "vernacular" writing style. HE put it through some spell check without asking. I'm tempted to not pay him....

That's an option, not paying. Nothing should ever go to press without the customer signing off on it.

Sometimes the human brain beats out the computer spell checker. Let's hear it for homo sapiens.
