*sigh*  i was just musing on the graphics limitations of my equipment,
and wondering how i could channel some money from the Mac to upgrade
the Amiga, when along comes Michael from Silicon Graphics...

envy aside, as far as i'm concerned, the more scans the better.
my greyscale scans of the KBC newsletters and the tour program are
disappointing compared to the color originals.  i don't know how
much room we have left for the archives, but i'd say that color
TIFFs (and companion high quality GIFs) would be most welcome.

footah!
