Too much, probably. >PS Why the revolting mac font? Maybe because they can get away with sub-standard *crap*? Not even an effort to use a scalable font fergawdsake! Apparently no proof-reading. A very amateurish effort. I could easily do better, and I don't even like to use a Mac. It would have taken less than an hour to proof-read the text, fix the mistakes and change the fonts -- i.e. to do it RIGHT. I humbly suggest that the Treasurer tear up the invoice and send it back with a letter telling that crowd (Symmetry Design?) to get their act together or lose future business. Also, I note that advertising agencies usually make some effort to identify themselves as being the designers/authors of a particular work. Is somebody ashamed of their work, or just ignorant? (Don't answer that!) What a waste of paper. -- +-----+ Bernd Felsche _--_|\ #include <std/disclaimer.h> | | | | MetaPro Systems Pty Ltd / \ bernie@metapro.DIALix.oz.au | | | | 328 Albany Highway, X_.--._/ Fax: +61 9 472 3337 |m|p|s| Victoria Park, Western Australia 6100 v Phone: +61 9 362 9355
