My handwriting leaves a very poor first impression. And have trouble with bar codes freehand. This R3000 13 inch which it looks like I'm getting tomorrow prints envelopes! I'll be making a re commitment to snail mail. I used to like to send out 5x7 prints out in envelopes I have for the occasion. Back to doing that I hope.
