actually you have to have a profile for every device you output to, the more
tuned you are with your capture settings with the profile settings the
better quality. but whatever. and no, i wouldn't pay 500 for a book; but, I
would pay 500 for a print; so , riddle me that in a sensible cost per
pixel/cubit.
are you high mate?

This statement is much like your ubuntu rather than fedora because you claim
it is technical and works better for no apparent reason or sensible
comparison. Have you ever tried fedora or an optimized icc file? if not, you
might be wrong. if so maybe you didn't understand what you were doing. this
is out of my kind warm heart, I mean no disrespect or mal intent, it just
seemed like a loaded question from the get. That is why I sent the oatmeal.
The joke was the clients ego and failure to allow himself the luxury he
claimed to want to hire someone for; but, in reality he just wanted to bloat
his own ego and might as well hired a prostitute he could take a shit on and
piss off the mess. And as far as your views on capitalism and your punk rock
pot smoking stand...selling marijuana and punk music is capitalism at it's
finest. I've always found those political punkers I have to work with
sometimes are the biggest conformist filling their empty void with whatever
movement seems to cause the most problems, I'm not accusing you of this. I
just made and observation. I like some punk music; but, the people annoy me
to death.
I saw AVATAR today, good flick.

That sounds mighty high. It's all about how many units you print to bring
the cost per down to something sensible. Is that to just print one book? Try
printing 10 it, they will probably owe you money with that margin..
