Holding negs down with a piece of glass works after a fashion, but you usually get some moire. Special glass or plastic made for that purpose works better. I think Epson sells it. > On Dec 16, 2019, at 11:20 AM, John wrote: > > On 12/13/2019 21:00:07, jco...@iinet.net.au wrote: >> I have the

Re: how afraid should I be? (windoze 10)

Yep, I should have written “cacked .” Auto correct chose cackled. If a part was damaged less severely and perhaps still useable, it was “tweaked.” As in, “the top ring is cacked and the ring land is tweaked.” Paul > On Dec 7, 2019, at 10:15 AM, Steve Cottrell wrote: > > On 7/12

Re: how afraid should I be? (windoze 10)

In a previous life building racing engines, “cack” was a familiar word, as in “the top ring is cackled.” Meaning damaged beyond repair. Paul > On Dec 6, 2019, at 8:36 PM, Rick Womer wrote: > > Well, I have a fairly good vocabulary, but “carks” was a new one. > > "To burden or be burdened
