- Eh, guys... I wasn't aware that my innocent comments would be
- perceived as so offensive :-) (Else, I would have been more careful
- with oyur feelings...)
-
- This said, $6 per slide looks pretty cheap to me. I used to pay
- that in California *if the file was in the SKODL (or is it SCODL?)
- format*. Otherwise, it would be more like $12...
-
- (And presumably, the money doesn't come out of one's own pocket,
- does it? So, say $60 for a presentation isn't all that bad.)
