Hi Dave no worries, me and Cadassist where done many years ago(tech support & training)...its ok, i was made redundant, it was probably my attidude, I didn't like being challenged on what i know or knew about xyz, Which was more than just 3DSMAX, but those other skills where under utilized,

I just thought it was funny that something so simple could not have been answered in -house.. I hope you get where I am comming from. I believe the situations where constructed to force me to leave, THe first major row with the boss, if i remember correctly was about my advices, that they needed a software RIP to enhance the Plotters printing functionality & speed...another about quark express, and a few others, basically I felt I was being squeezed, (but I suppose thats what happens when you work for bosses)... but when they brought in a lot of new people from other companies that had gone bust(sucked the juice out of them & then let them go too) they had to prune out the people they didnt need, and to be honest they didnt get that much work for me to do, as I didn't know the Mechanical & Cad software side of things, I can see the logic.

Just doing 3DSMAX all the time is a bit of a pain when you want to do so much more, like photography & video, and other CG stuff where ever possible.

Sorry to Upset you didn't mean to... I can't be all that bad, as now I am offering tech support for free, and I suppose if there is a little sour grapes in there, its because I am offering it to the company that used to pay me...

I did see one monitor on the overclockers site(was more expensive) with HDMI input, it was a dell, but you should be able to get that from work at cost! GIve it a go, and try not to drop me in it, as the last time I was there it was cordial.
