Digital BW, The Print

Thank you so much for your hard work, Paul! Can I please have a copy
of your curve?

I knew she still had some life in her.  And as for its slow print
speed, I use that time to clean up around the house, so it could be
seen as an advantage, especially to my roommates!

Thanks again. dont know what we'd do without you!
John
