If he wants the machine back, give it to him, he owns it. But you own the dongle and should keep it. The machine is pretty much unsalable without a dongle.

Thanks Harvey,

I was only addressing Chucks "What If" scenario. I don't think that will happen. But you make a good point. But if that situation actually did come up, I would rather him give me my $700.00 back than to keep a Dongle that I had no use for.

(Question to Harvey, moved to the Glass Etching/Sandblasting folder)

Thanks,
Don

Why don't you become the Universal laser distributor in Australia? You have nothing else to do right? (devil)

Ok Dee I give up..I did something wrong didnt I ....I dont know what it was,,. but from the tone of your posts lately..I know I must of...

The worst part is..I dont know what it was :<


As for Universal...it will never happen..they are satisfied with what they have. You must remember, a lot has been invested by the local distributor..and finding someone else in such a small market place is a very difficult thing. o we have to take it on the chin and put up with it.

regards
Peter

I guess Aussies do not use that brand of humor. The part that says 'you have plenty of time, don't you?', means that you really have no time at all.

It was like saying why don't you take on more of a load, you still waste a few hours sleeping. Humor when explained really stinks, but believe me it was humor only.

It is a line she uses on me when she adds more work to an already overburdened schedule.

Now being serious, you have to take some time to smell the roses.

It is too easy to get tied up in a rush then wonder where the past two years went.

Hi Don,

I actually use to work in tech support over at Gravograph about 8 months ago. I recently got back in to Telecom. The thing is NH is trying to migrate away from G98. Which they have stop producing actual dongles for a while, but the G5 software sometimes work with G98. So, if they sent you a replacement g98 dongle. Then it is either used or refurbished. I would strongly recommend you ask them how long the warranty is for that dongle. If you notice any problems make sure you contact them and asked to speak to the manager of tech support. Express you concerns to them. The sales rep did exactly what your wife said he did. When I worked there after the ARA show we use to get customers all the time stating that a sales rep had promised them something and never got approval for whatever they promised. The replacement dongle they were speaking of was for the G5 software.

James,

How long were you with NH Tech Support? Did you specialize in software, hardware or both? Are you doing any NH side work now?

I was there for around 2 years. At Gravograph we had to do both software and hardware (engravers). Unfortunately, we got thrown under the bus most of the times. New equipment or software would come out and release before we had time to even touch the products. I worked in the Duluth headquaters and travel every once and a while.

I forgot to answer the question about side work for NH. Not yet, but I have been thinking about it. I actually like the company and work, but the pay wasn't there. I decided to go back Telecommunications and will more than like get started in the engraving business. The only thing we as technicians don't know all the different avenues of the business side of engraving. We basically just know how to use the software, equipment and troubleshoot the equipment and software....Go figure! You would be amazed at what some people would call in for help for.

James,

Thank you for the info. I had to sign a Parts Exchange Form agreeing to: Electronic parts carry a 90 day warranty, Mechanical parts carry a 60 day warranty. I didn't like it after paying them $682.00 for a replacement Dongle, but I assumed the replacement was at least a new dongle. If they are trying to un-load a used or refurbished one on me for that price, (and not telling me), I'm beginning to think that maybe I'll just cancel my order and put an end to doing business with them. It's too bad as I had planned on purchasing new equiptment and supplies from them.

Thanks againg for the heads up.

Don

Are you insinuating with this comment that someone called in about their Hew Hermes laser engraver not getting a dark enough logo image on the bagel they were trying to engrave? :D
