We used to have customers come in and order a section of land, one square mile, and then ask for the 20x30 print. I would enplane that a square will not fill up the 20x30 as a square and a long rectangle are different shapes, so I will have just white paper on the sides. One guy said make it fit! I then told him the only way to do that is the make a "silly putty" image and stretch the image. I had to waste time to show one guy what that would look like on the monitor. He finally understood.

And often we had clients that insisted on the full resolution images in digital format. No problem for us, just one gigabyte per square mile images. For some reason PowerPoint did not care for one gig images, and they could not email them.
