Spanish market is under developped to sell prints and the actual recession do it still more difficult, I can have good professional services in Barcelona. At the present moment I'm quite busy examining my old archives, and as a first step I can still do some other books, this is a useful manner to have organized the archives. cheers Lluis El 24/07/2012, a las 4:58, Mark Rabiner escribi?: > I use a R3000 I got at a close out price not too many months ago.
