Actually, a couple of list-folk *are* my customers. (For which I'm most grateful, if they should be reading this.) Lower my standards? Never. ;-) Odd that in another post, a few minutes ago, you said, "the 1200 will run CIRCLES around an 800." As you know, in terms of print quality, the 800 and the 3000 are brethren. It's my lot in life to want exactly those things I can't have. rafe b. - Please turn off HTML mail features. Keep quoted material short.
