Digital BW, The Print

That's good that you know Barbara. She's a really nice person. I'll teller her about Eddie 
(laughs). I'm mixing Selenium and Warm-Neutral. It gives a true "Warm Neutral" not a 
yellow/red Warm Neutral. Next time I get up to Conetech in VT I want to give them a 
couple samples and try and convince them they need to work on some fine-tunage of their 
neutrals. Or maybe I can start running these baby's through that 12ink Roland printer with 
two 9500 heads . . . heh. That would be a trip.

take care and all the best in Atlanta.  We should hold a couple of seminars sometime.
