Yes Steve, it is too bad. I bought a couple of 100ft rolls of it back
when it was being used a lot for proofing prints. I'm currently using
it up in making whats commonly derided as "wall decor". Happens that
they're my walls and I Like "wall decor" so it's working out well. If
it yellows badly in 20-30 years it won't matter because I won't be
looking so hot myself so no one will notice or care ;) I wouldn't give
or sell anything on it to someone else though.

Regards
Duane
