You left yourself wide open with that one. I'm 74. But gravity has pulled the 17" neck I used to have, down to someplace hidden behind my navel. To call me a bit 'portly' would be kind. As for the troll? Nope. I'll go you one better, though, I can prove it. See <http://gene.homelinux.net:85/gene> The pix is now 5 years old, but that's me & the better half, and there is more below the pix. While using the gutenprint plugin for gimp, I have made color prints from weddings etc, on an elderly epson C82 4 color printer, on good mat paper that I have sold, several times. Epsons inks are pricey but pretty accurate. >Never occured to me to DL gimp to window machine & try printing. Seemed >conter productive since I'd have to move photo from one machine to the >other.

Mainly used when I'm on the road, putting out technical fires at some tv station. Broadcast engineering has been my bread supplier for about 47 years now. The lappy is probably 14 months cold ATM. And that is the only winders machine on the premises, 1 out of 6, the other 5 are running. But one of those 5 is running nitros9, so I'll see how much you know about 'legacy' computers. :) -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
