Mary,
All I said was I would not support the expense of printing them THE WAY
THEY WERE DONE LAST YEAR. I had trouble seeing and enjoying them - perhaps
you might better understand when you have tri-focals and cant focus real
well on small objects without a magnifier. Perhaps that is my problem, but
it is a FACT. I should have said: I would not support doing them again, the
way they CAME OUT last year. It sounds like you did the best that COULD BE
DONE, so it is NOT YOUR FAULT. It seems that you are agreeing that if the
dpi is not sufficient to make them larger and sufficiently viewable, then
we leave them on the web. They were designed for the web, they looked good
on the web, so it seems that is where they should stay. So, I think would
agree.
