Yesterday I visited www.yesco.com, the AZ division...an outstanding facility that can craft just about every kind of sign imagineable....LED, neon, vinyl, channel lettering, digital printing...from the smallest signs to ones 120' high.

A special thanks to Jim for organizing everything and showing me around, and for Mick for letting me watch him work thought some sign designs for a few hours.

Thanks to Tortuga Promotions for letting me drop by today

The UED team at Corel routinely conduct customer visits so we can stay abreast to the needs of our users. Since I was going to be in AZ for the conference I wanted to visit a few folks in the sunny south west to see how they use CorelDRAW and to get a chance to see if there are ways to make life easier for our customers.

I wanted to drop a line of thanks to Tortuga Promotions for hosting me today. The visit was great, I learned a lot and I hope you find the presents useful that I left behind.

The resort in Phoenix is beautiful.

This place is amazing...if I didn't know better I would think I was on a vacation in Mexico...the oasis water park is a great place to cool off...the lazy river is a lot of fun...the ground are very well kept, the 50 million they spent on the place shows...if you like shopping there are two outlet malls within 5 miles (8kms) of here..one is only half a mile (1km) away......the sunsets are beautiful here too....It may be hot but my hats off to Foster for picking such a nice place.

While in Rome....

..and you wouldn't mind having a Corel dude come over for a few hours I would love to stop by.

I'll be heading to the CorelDRAW Unleashed conference July 9-12 (http://www.coreldrawunleashed.com/conference/index.asp) and I've booked the 7&8th to visit customers in the Phoneix area. My goal would be to watch customers use CorelDRAW and/or PHOTO-PAINT as part of their daily workflow and see how it meets their needs. You don't need to have X4, and infact I see it as a bonus if you don't have it yet.

If you don't mind have a Corel guy watching over your shoulder please email me. I bring presents :>

Thanks for taking the time to read this,
Tony
