Digital BW, The Print

Joshua,

If you want to poll the users, I can set one up for you in 
the "Polls" section on the group homepage. There is currently a poll 
running at the request of Robert Rex of Crane to assess the market 
for paper in panorama sizes.

If you would like to try this check out the current poll, send me the 
question you would like to ask and the multiple-choice answers. A 
user can only vote for one as the software is constructed.
