Digital BW, The Print

Peter:
Look at it this way. How much would you spend to set up a workable darkroom
in your house? When you consider all the equipment and cost of the space
your significant other would begrudgingly allow you to have. It really isn't
that expensive. Besides with this setup you and the whole house won't smell
like acidic acid.

Gee, I would think any acid would be acidic.  I assume you meant acetic 
acid which is what is in stop bath.

Sorry,  couldn't let that slip by.  ;-)

I did mean acetic acid. Automatic spell checker sometimes can be a pain in
the a!
