Garry;

Sorry, you're right we are of on a tangent; My take is that there is 
no advantage to the final print; the advantage is in keeping your 
file in good enough shape to re-adjust as often as you like with out 
accumulated degradation. BTW I got a MAC Mall catalogue in the mail 
yesterday, they had a 4-page add on PSCS, I hope it gets released on 
time; this is one time I'm willing to put up with product activation
w/out complaints!
