Good luck! People keep talking about CostCo, but I dont have one near me. Trying the little 1 hour processing at Walmart gave horrible results. There are others I need to try...the Kodak machine at walmart, walgreens etc...but so far the best results I've had are with a HP inject. Of course, you are limited to 8x10 then.

Doug,
I'm a telecommunication consulting engineer in private practice but actually mostly retired. (I still do some expert testimony work and things like that, but very little.)
For about 15 years, the bulk of my practice was in fact in developing and presenting engineering seminars (short courses) in (mostly) telecom related areas. Some of these were presented through a university engineering continuing engineering program and the rest directly through my firm to telecommunication companies, equipment manufacturers, and government agencies with "special" interests in telecom matters.
I've been involved over the years in a few matters you may have come in contact with. I edited and mostly wrote the actual standards document for the first full release of ASCII, and I hold the patent on the Caps Lock key you perhaps curse daily.
My firm's office is located in our home.
I've been in telecommunications work most of my professional career. My engineering curiosity has taken me into a lot of areas, may of which are pertinent to photography, including optics, photometry, colorimetry, digitization of analog things, etc.
I've been involved in photography sporadically for a long time. but I'm more of a "fiddler" than a photographer! My interest in photography had its most recent awakening in 1998, when I bought my first digital still camera (a Kodak DC-210).
My bride, Carla, of whom you will often read in these columns, is retired from a major international professional association, where she was assistant to the VP or Marketing and Brand Management. We have been married about 4.5 years, both having recently been widowed.
Our big project at the moment is the Dallas Opera, where we both have "extra" roles in their upcoming production of La Bohème. I am a retired French war hero (un mutilé de guerre!) who wanders around the town square socializing and marches in the parade that ends Act 2. Carla is a local socialite in Act 2, and in Act 3 is the maid at a tavern. The act opens with her, down center, passed out on a bench on the street. Mimi, the ingenue, awakens her and sends her to the tavern to fetch Marcello, friend of Mimi's lover Rudolfo. It's grand fun. It's a fabulous production - there are 120 people onstage in the middle of Act 2!
Carla is also a "lightwalker" for the Dallas Opera, a specialized "standin" who serves as a target when the lights are being set. Yesterday, she thought she would have to stand in for herself for the Act 2 open, but the way the schedule worked out it was done by someone on a different "shift".
Carla has also recently begun a project of making quilts for all of the grandchildren in our extended family, She has already "pieced" several, but the actual quilting has been subcontracted. However, we have just ordered a NewJoy Gold Standard quilting machine frame to be equipped with a Juki TL-98E head (a semi-commercial sewing machine).
This forum is a marvelous place to share knowledge, experience, and opinion, and of course as well to view the full spectrum of human wisdom and folly.
Best regards,
Doug

Last year I took an early retirement package from Kimberly Clark where I worked for 36 years the last 11 as a shift supervisor. I thought at 55 I would still be young enough to get a part time job but here it is a year later I haven't even looked for a PT job, I love not working.

Working for many years as 3D artist (3dsmax, photoshop, combustion, etc), working as freelance at home for a year now. So, apart when very stressed about work, I can surf as I want ;-)

Hi Spaz,
I'm a Producer for a games company... (sorry).
I'll never forget programming the Commodore Pet in school and then getting the Sinclair ZX80.. now that was technology!

I stayed away from the Crummydores Big jump from the Intellivision was to an Amstrad CPC 6128. 128k of memory, color screen, and 3" floppies. There i learnt CP/M and programming in Pascal. And best of all, I could save my programs on the floppies...which got real hard to find. Then I saved and saved, and when I was 17 or so (1988) I bought my first PC. 286 - 640k - amber screen - no hard drive. And it cost me something like $1400. Oh how times have changed
