The problem is most creative types tend to be very bad business people, who's fault is that, of course the government and they need to level the playing field for people who have no interest in become business savvy. Some of the best creative types who are very successful are also very good business people, they learn what they needed to do to get ahead. So it not like understanding business is a highly specialize skill.

Your grasp of creativity is only equaled by your grasp of business.

Think of it this way. I buy a CD at lunch. I rip the album to my computer at the office and listen to it. I forget to take the CD home. I get home and I tell my HomePod to play the album that has been ripped to iTunes. The HomePod can play the album because I can access it anywhere through iTunes because I pay for iTunes match. Instead of having to also rip the cd at home.

I used this program in the 90s until the 2nd or 3rd revision of indesign came out. Never looked back. Quark is a perfect example of what happens to a company that doesn't value their customer input. The disastrous launch of Quark 4 with it's document corrupting bugs and it was downhill from there. Industry Leader to an Also Ran and it happened quickly. I chaired a production tract at a national publishing convention. We went from one magazine using Indesign and 40 using Quark to the opposite In the span of one year. People we're clamoring for more and begging Quark to add features. Adobe seized the moment and reaped the rewards. within 2 years the college design degree programs stopped teaching it. That's the real death nail, when they stop training the next generation to use your product. Personally I'm stunned they are still in business. But Adobe needs competition to spur development of new features so I'm glad Quark is still there for that reason alone.

Blocking numbers doesn't work. Most calls are coming from spoofed numbers. I've had people call me because they got one of these calls from my number because it was spoofed.

If it comes from outside my country I don't answer it. If it comes from outside my state there's a 50% chance I will answer it.

If you answer the call but don't say anything, the robot call will hang up after a few seconds, a real person will say "...hello?"

I've wondered what would happen if I would play the recorded the sound of a fax machine attempting to connect when they call. I don't know if their software is sophisicated enough to deem my number as a fax line and not call it anymore.

Anyone have a dedicated fax line that gets robo calls?
