Mary, Thanks for the information. I'm printing it out for future reference. Although I have had some experience with a lot of different media. I try to keep to the most simple approach to things. I do not like to read for one thing. I'm a lot more artistic and creative than I am comprehensive. Show me how and I get it, but don't give me a book to try to figure it out ;o). My husband is the hardware/software tech in our business, and even he won't mess with some stuff. We have a computer tech who we've used for 15 years to build and maintain our business computers. I've used an audio/visual company to dupe VHS tapes for me before. They have all the latest and greatest equipment and knowledge. My time is at a premium these days so I'd rather pay to have some of this stuff done. Just recently found out that Walmart does a lot of duping, etc. They did a nice job for my brother-in-law who had a lot of his old movie reels copied to VHS with music added. I believe it cost him about $20 a copy to put 7 or 8 reels on one VHS tape. The following is a little off topic but it's along the lines of duplicating family history products. Rather than scanning photos to make family history calendars, photos can be arranged in a collage and color copied. The color copies (Kinko's) may cost up to $1 a copy; whereas the time to scan and print on your own equipment may be less costly, it will still cost you about $.50 per page of color print. Cartridges are not inexpensive. It costs about $70 for a color and black cartridge for my printer and it is only good for about 150 or so full pages of color. I haven't tried to refill my own cartridges. So for those who do and are successful at it, they can save even more. For instance, I just recently printed out 40 full pages of family history photos (a mix of b&w and color prints) that I had scanned and captioned over the years. I outsourced them to a copy/print house to make 20 copies for me. They had to rescan them to print them, but you couldn't tell the difference. It only cost $3 per album v. $50 each in color. Kinko's has sepia (the brown tone like the old tintypes), but they also charge more for their copies . . . and sepia is considered color I believe. For what it's worth . . . Lois
