How interesting! What are some things that you have designed? Do you use AutoCAD? I used to know the names of some other programs but now I forget them

wow!!! that must be cool!! What's your business called??

@Mike
Is not so interesting... I use Adobe Graphic Suite: Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat and so on; Corel Graphic Suite, and use to work and with QuarkXpress. Using those I do design for advertising and what I do is printed digital or offset, it depends. What I do now is called often layout, design & prepress, or something like that. I also take pictures when I need.
@smileygal
I don't think this is the place to advertise my business... It is a very small company and i think I'll give up because the crisis is affecting me very hard... Maybe not the crisis, but all king of nasty taxes.

Sorry to hear about business. America gives a ton of tax breaks to small business owners, it does help but still they struggle. Here, the saying is that the first 5 years will make or break your company. I do hope business picks up for you.

I work as a software analyst (QA) for a financial company and am schooled in software development although I don't do much of it at my day job.

Ah, I take a Web Design class, and I plan to get certified in Adobe Dreamweaver and Flash! I use Photoshop less frequently though.

dragonfly, are you planning to do web design?

it's something I should learn. but havnt found the interest enough to learn it.

No, I don't plan on it (it's a saturated field)... But it's good to know, if I start a business or something

Do any of you know how I can get Romanian on the Writing Pad and Character Pad of my Tablet PC Input Panel?

I can switch between languages with the language bar thing but for the 3 languages that I have chosen, only English and French can be used on the Character Pad and Writing Pad along with the on-screen keyboard while I can only get Romanian on on-screen keyboard.

Hmmm I don't know... Aren't some of the punctuation characters replaced by diacritic letters? I have not tried to type in Romanian on a PC lately... Sorry I can't really help, I'm a visual person.

Yeah. this > ; < key is S with a comma below and this > ' < key is t with the comma. along with a few others for the A's with diacritics.
The on-screen keyboard is fine. All I want to do is write using my graphics tablet and for it to be converted into text.

It works fine in English and French (Canada) but for some reason, I can't get the options of using Writing Pad and Character Pad with Romanian. Just the on-screen keyboard.

Ok, Stevo I think you can type those characters while the on-screen keyboard is up, that's what I do.

So absolutely no way I can write them?

I don't know

The writing pad and character pad are not available for romanian language. That's because of windows. Tryed this on my laptop.

If u swich to romanian keyboard, the keyboard look like this:

Q W E R T Z U I O P Ă Î
A S D F G H J K L Ș Ț Â
Y X C V B N M , . /

and some changes when u type shift+number:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = <----number
! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + <----shift+number

hope this is useful for you

Yeah thanks Cristi. I've already seen the Romanian keyboard layout when I was setting it up.
So there's no way possible to set up writing pad and character pad in Romanian?

What is the point of the Z and the Y switching places in the Romanian keyboard?

Another challenge: Last time I asked for Romanian bands (preferably lyrics in Romanian) who are similar to Blink-182. This time, can anyone find me bands who are similar to Angels & Airwaves?


PS: I just listened to some Andreaa Balan and she sounds good.

Y is not used as much in Romanian as Z, that's why

Andreea Bălan is good isn't she try Anka too.

Hi everyone! Bună tuturor!
