Maybe by then your art director will have figured out that insisting on massively oversized files for magazine reproduction is a waste of effort too. Consumer products are all about not holding their value, anyone who buys into them knows it and accepts it. It's been that way with computers, video cameras, VCR's, American automobiles and most any other consumer product out there. But people still go out and buy the stuff, knowing that in a year or two, whatever it is they bought won't be worth a plugged nickel It's the price of admission for getting to use whatever product has caught your fancy. There aren't a lot of other options that don't involve keeping your money in a sock in the back of a closet. I think you are kidding yourself with the time line, but I also expect we will both be here to discuss it in a year or two. William Robb
