Digital BW, The Print

Thank you John,

I'm trying to find a reasonably simple method of keeping track of my 
images that this simple mind can manage. I have a lot of work ahead 
of me as I have taken images for a long time. The worst of it is I'm 
trying to do this and learn how to use photoshop effectively as well 
as learn to print with all its nuances; and there is only 24 hours in 
the day. Where is there a good 96 hour day when you need them? Thanks 
again.

Tim
