Posted by David Harding (Member # 108) on :
Can I change the bulb directly from Corel or do I need a bridge (ladder) program?
Should I have used a Mac? Thrown accurately and with sufficient force, an apple will remove the bulb but not reinstall it.
What should I charge to change the bulb? Does EstiMate have a light bulb module?
Posted by Robert Thomas (Member # 1356) on :
You guys using the A3 light bulbs or the A5 now A6 bulbs, the A8 is great but I don't feel as though I get enough repeat business with the A8 so I'm sticking with the A6. Sometimes for a short term deal I'll use A3.

Bump, for the people that missed this post.
Before it is lost forever in the vacuum that is created when new post multiply and eventualy pile up & push the old post down further & further until it lost forever, in the black hole of the internet.
