Is this where you want to be when Jesus comes back?!? Calling out a bored moran in public? Maybe a better place for this discussion would be on the Cepro forums instead of on the front of your website….

Question: Was the “so far kinda legal” 3rd party DVD ripping software already loaded on it when you got it? If not, how did that installation process go?
David (Posted on 02/08/10, 01:34 PM)
For the record, Mozaex is windows based. I assume David T you are referring to K-Scape? Envive only does unencrypted (wink, wink) Blu-ray and DVD, right? That is according to their web site and a recent CE Pro article. …

Dan Fulmer made three radical changes to 15-year-old Fultech Solutions in 2009. It launched a commercial division, opened a 2,500-square-foot “green” showroom and rolled out $1,695-per-year service contracts. The company, which used to do 15 percent commercial work, now does 50 percent.
