No I did not, I’m not that tech savvy.

Not sure what you mean by clean install. I did a restart, followed the onscreen prompts.

Jeremy! I’m sorry! I had a typo. I meant to say COMPRESSOR in the subject line. I also bought Motion but haven’t opened it. So sorry. That’s why I had 4.

I just bought Motion 4, isn’t that the latest? I went to the Apple Store and that was the only Motion there was.

Yes. I’ve never heard of this. If they do something wrong while the plant is under your “Care, Custody & Control” (The 3 C’s), the plant owners will come after you. I’d be leery of them, perhaps there is something in their background, such as a major accident or lawsuit, that makes them want to do this? If anything the plant should have asked for yours and their certificates. Lately some of the major skyscrapers in downtown Chicago have been asking for my certificate for me to just unload at the dock.
Lastly, I shoot in plants a lot and unless it’s a dark hole such as a soot covered steel mill, I don’t need a grip truck. I just crank up the ISO!
Please post an explanation when they reply as to why they are asking for your certificate. Curious.
Good luck,

Hi Steve,
May I ask you about the retainer deal? I have had clients ask about that over the years but kept them at arm’s length. I was worried that they may take up too much time or need projects finished very quickly and I would be forced to short change other clients. I do not track by the hour though (I edit too slow), so how do you know if you and the client are doing a win/win? Seems like it would be dangerous on the vendor side.
So could you please explain how something like that works?
Thank you,

Mark, you’ve given me PTSD! That happened a lot with my kids for school. Glad to see it’s “normal”(?)
But now I have clients that act the same way. Glad the tornadoes didn’t hit your area.

Mark,
Email me asap = ned AT nedmiller.com
I called my Spanish guy and he is available tomorrow. You can explain what you need and if he isn’t up to it he can refer you to someone.
Or go to my site and call me on the number you see there.
Best,
Ned

Same thing here, they need you when they need you and can perceive multiple inquiries as “pestering” if they’re not ready to pull the trigger, especially voicemails. I have land line and cell phone voicemail and I too am starting to feel this way:
I see it as busy clients are spinning plates, we as vendors are just another spinning plate. Or think of the project as on a stove top, their boss demands something else has a higher priority (or deadline) and we are then placed on the back burner on simmer. At least you have something in the pipeline and for that you can be grateful.
Some clients, mainly the younger ones, have a different sense of business etiquette and timing, they don’t feel a response is an asap kind of thing. I see that in my late twenties kids’ attitudes. Also, if they’ve never had their own self employed, project centric business they can’t relate to how important it is to get a response quickly. They are living in a different world than us.
Lastly, I tend towards the paranoid and when this happens to me I assume they are delaying telling me some bad news, but that’s just me. If I turn out to be wrong I am pleasantly surprised!
That’s my two cents.
