I will definately use it for printing song lyrics. I would like to suggest a cost saving technique i use when printing documents. I have a Dell system, and yeah, i used to be happy about that, until i found out they ship with lexmark printers with Dell logos. Anyway, my printer hasn't been too bad. But it did something very annoying. It slathered the ink on the page quite thickly for normal text printings. Through experiementation, i learned that you could get the ink to come out less thickly by setting the paper type, manually, to card stock. Card stock is not very absorbent, as you know, therefore the printer cuts back on how much ink it spurts out of the heads. I use this setting for normal paper, and not only does it save ink, ( i get 50% or more pages from a cartridge ) it also prints crisper, and more elegantly. You also have to set the output to photo or normal. I use photo, because my lexmark printer actually leaves wiggles and misaligned letters in its wake on the other settings. I suspect it was designed to do this, as the photo printing has been exceptional.You had a quote i liked in a discussion about windows vista, 'the truth about windows vista', that i really liked and that made me think how it could be applied to other situations in life. I think you are a very good writer. Anyway, I will leave you with your quote and this: Have a nice day. :)"Without veneer, underlying code will never have a chance to shine." My take on it: "Without gloss, the skills are not appreciated." I liked your suggestion. I will definately use it for printing song lyrics.

“Without veneer, underlying code will never have a chance to shine.” My take on it: “Without gloss, the skills are not appreciated.”
