Neil, speaking as one who has in the past been prodded to work with Dave
when I've utterly detested so, I offer this advice: *please back off*. You
are better at working with Dave than Mary or I am (currently). If I were
in her shoes, I'd be pretty unhappy happy being told "Dave offered to work
with you" *three* times now. I am sure she would ask him if or when she
needs help.  Further, one is never sure whether Dave's printer advice or
help is the "best" or whether he is just embellishing things.  I thought
the "old" printer did a nice job with the color in TAG, and see no reason
why the new one would be any better or worse.

And to both of you, Neil and Mary, I am *not* altering the business
meeting notes or reposting them.  I probably wasn't clear on this; they're
not minutes, they're just notes I took to be helpful to everyone here, and
to use as a seed for the "to-do list" that I'm going to revise (Real Soon
Now).  As far as I'm concerned, they're on the list archives now, along
with your replies, which is good enough for me.  Now when we have a
recording secretary and official minutes...
