I just got a call from a guy that lived in Moore in a house that was heavily damaged by the tornado . He lives in Wisconsin now. He wants a photo of the area. He does not remember the street names. The real topper, he does not have a computer!

How does anyone function in 2013 with no computer at all? He does not even have a smart phone so no email.

I started using email or actually Fido-mail back in the very early 80s. Something like 30 years ago.

Morning everyone, have had a phone at my ear for two hours now on a long status telecom. I'm afraid I might loose some flesh when I try to pull the handset away.

Janet, you'd have to be pretty good to make a Sailor blush, at least this one! It's been tried many times with no success, heh.

Phone calls done,,,,,,OWWW, going to be awhile till the ear is back to normal. I refuse to wear a headset. I'm not a GDamn telemarketer.

I would use the speakerphone mode to save wear & tear on the ear lobe.

He bought photos from us back in May 1999 when the other F5 300+ MPH wind tornado hit Moore OK. We put our copyright and phone number on every print.

That makes sense. I guess every so often, your customers want to see what's left.

Not for me. I am working on the job with the "Bill Gates" wallet photos. 5x12 foot prints. I put on a roll of 60 inch wide paper and set the printer running. It can only get 8 prints out of a 100 foot long roll.



480 sq feet of prints per roll.

Trying to trim them apart is a pain. I need a bigger table than my 5x12 foot table.
