Er, Gary, I'd have to disagree about the print size.  I have done some
beautiful 8x10's and even ventured to a 11x17, which is really nice, if you
view at a reasonable distance.

I agree that he who waits, might do well, but there are bargains right now,
and they will be bettter soon.   The main point is in the following Haiku:

Each day with digi,
is a day without lab fee
spend money on love

Sonny
