The real question is how are you going to pay for the ink-jet printer cartridges required to print out the roughly 500 million 12-character words (6 billion characters)? At 1000 pages per cartridge and $20 per cartridge (I wish!) and 5000 characters per page that comes to $24,000. Then there's the paper. We'll throw in the printers for free. -- Joe Legris . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
