I really liked it (Sans the hey its Larry :-)). It is
comprhensive and well written and the layout just
plain rocks! 

I like the idea of giving this out. I just think there
has to be some way of doing it for less than $2000. 

What if we bought Cheryl an inexpensive @$500 color
laser. I have a Minolta QMS Magicolor 2300 in my
office that does an OK job. It is not a real four
color press by any means, but it is a color laser.

For those who don't know the main advanatage of Laser
over inkjet is not quality or cost but rather the fact
that the ink is fused into the paper so that it will
not bleed under moisture. SOmething fish shows are
known for .

This is just an idea and it would still be expensive
when you add toner and paper but in the long run it
might be worth considering. I am not really sure but
that is all I can think of.

Regards,
Larry
