Similarly we are small, in an academic environment, and find quality of
the SED service a considerable improvement on posted copies. I receive
and print a copy for researchers, which is simpler and faster than
checking whether or not they have Adobe 6 etc.

Subject: Re: SED
My experience so far has been very good and I've been dazzled by the
speed of the articles' arrival. However I'm a a small outfit, have
Adobe 6 on my PC and am lucky enough to have access to a new printer.
My only complaint is time taken to print the articles and the amount of
extra paper we're using, even with the relatively few articles we
obtain. For us, the service is working well.
