    New PDF creating software.

    Your question is vague, but I'll assume it's not intentional. If the "this" you are referring to is computer history, it's general knowledge for IT nerds like myself. For a general primer on computing history, try this: http://www.maxmon.com/history.htm In a pinch, there's always google...

    New PDF creating software.

    Seems pretty obvious. The only computers available in the 60s were dumb terminals connected to mainframes. If there had been enforced standardization, the personal computer would not have been invented, just faster mainframes. I agree with Joe, it's impossible to tell what the next big thing...

    PDF Industry - How do we help it grow?

    You're probably right. I'll approach the bigger boys for the next run and see if they're prepared to assist in publishing for a piece of the action. Although by no means a large store, I do carry downloads. Whilst I'm not sure how well a pure RPG product would do at my store I'd be happy to...

    PDF Industry - How do we help it grow?

    Well I got a quote back from Sirivatana and Phil was indeed right about the printing costs for 3000 copies being around $11k. Unfortunately, the quote did not include the colour sep cost at $80 per plate. Assuming there's some leeway for bargaining, the costs work out roughly the same either...

    Philip, just checking, you got 3000 HC, FC copies printed for $11,500 or for $10 each? Did that include colour seperation? If the former I'm definitely going to check out Sirivatana. I'll put it another way, I paid $7k to get the book colour seperated and plated, and $4.5k to get 1000 copies...

    PDF Industry - How do we help it grow?

    $11.50 for a full colour book, all 104 pages seemed to be alright, especially for the small print run. If I'd gone with 2000 books it'd have been $7.50, 5000 $5. The printers sold me the overrun quantity at $3.5 per copy, so I assume that must be their actual printing costs minus the colour...

    PDF Industry - How do we help it grow?

    Free ISBNs OK I'm a brand spanking newbie to En World, so apologies in advance for any accidental slip ups. First, I run CoolMiniOrNot.com. It's a miniatures "Hot or Not" site that I've been running for about 2 years now. So we're in the same general hobby if not the same niche :). The...
