Digital BW, The Print

I am so sorry for my question. I didn't now that there is a database to
search. As I am a beginner to this I haven't follow the postings. Please,
apology for my posts. Maybe it's best for me to be silence, as I don't want
to offend anyone.

Regards
Ulf Widen

Ämne: Please, no more scanner posts!SV: [Digital BW] Re: Beginner

read through the database of posts before starting yet another 
thread about it.

This is Ad Nausium..( Sorry my Latin is not all that)
