Now I must preface this post with an apology ... I do not mean to offend anyone and I have written this with a certain amount of my tongue in my cheek and it would help me certainly, if you could read it as such ...
Maybe I just naturally have a suspicious mind (which was an excellent song by Elvis)
So here goes ....
As I've recently exhumed Elvis from his body bag, I read this thread and the John Deer link with great interest because when I first got Elvis this was exactly what I thought I wanted to do ... digitise.
Elvis came with PES Plus ... which sounds like the full banana right ??? But is in fact the LITE version of the software (great marketing yeah?) and the full version retailed for ££££ ... but I've got on with it quite well for the limited work I've done but find the attached 'design library' pretty infantile and HOW MUCH DISNEY?????
Why include soooo many Disney designs?? Because if you do go on and maybe sell things made using them, Disney (so Im told) will find you and are demon litigators ...
Anyhow back to my post ...
So I clicked on the link to the course and read carefully but what raises my suspicions, apart from the pic of this guy who looks like a complete con artist (sorry but he does) is that apparently ....
In the 1990’s-2000s John owned & ran one of North America’s largest commercial digitizing house, where he did the digitizing for many large corporations including: Disney, Coco-Cola, GM, the NFL, & the NBA.Now you would think that someone who has done such great work at that level in the industry would be especially punctilious, precise ... even maybe a perfectionist or at least on the ball enough to know how to spell the name of one of the worlds top companies ??
This is just me nit picking here, but if I was looking to spend such a hefty amount of money that sort of thing concerns me.
Is this course really designed by the man in the photo or is the pic of a Man at C&A model ???
Or is John Deer .... if he really is the designer of this course because lets face it, how easy would it be to sell an online course to an audience which will almost certainly be made up of a high majority of woman, many of whom will be of a certain age, by spearheading it with a good looking man? Of course he cant be too young so lets give him the Steve Martin hair to suggest age and experience but the flawless looks of someone much younger ..... really some gruff old 70 year old Mountain man from the Rockies with a ZZ Top beard and one leg???
So
@Morgan @Celia is John Deer for real ???
PS Isn't John Deer an American tractor company?
PPS .... I have just googled John Deer ... specifically without the 'e' on the end of Deer which is the tractor company ...
and Ive scrolled through 10 pages of tractors not one mention of this digitising design guru ???
Really .... does John Deer 'The Worlds Most Awarded Digitizer'
really exist or is it Joan Deer ???
Mnnnnnnnn the plot thickens!
