OK, compared with a darkroom you guys are right - out of 100 sheet box I'd
get maybe 10-15 prints and the time element is disproportionate.

ventilation systems, special lights, special timers, special area to work
(assuming you don't use your bedroom).  How often must the chemicals be
replenished?  Is there any waste to wet darkroom chemicals?  Does anyone
ever mix it wrongly?
