only so if you insist on playing with miniature cameras:-) I'm glad photo
paper still comes in sensible sizes that relate to 4x5 and 8x10 (but that
inkjet paper sure is a pain then - you waste a heck of a lot of 13x19
paper...)

I'm still sad we got rid of full-plate and mammoth-plate sizes though....

Sorry my bad Hogarth - juggling a six month old at the time...

1 Gallon Weighs 10lbs (not 20) - nice and simple

(real gallons that is - Imperial Gallons - not funny short change N American
ones... :-)  )

You mean United States gallons, the ~3.5 litre ones, Canada used the larger 
Imperial gallon ~4.5 litres, except that we don't use those much anymore, a gallon 
of paint has been 4L for years now....
