Gene,

And...

I just went back out and read a bit about RGB vs CMYK. I have never gotten far
enough along with graphics programs to have had to worry about this but
obviously now I do. As a former physics teacher I have been exposed to RGB much
more than CMYK.

Just one more topic I have to go out to learn!!!
