I just got a copy of Wilcox's book "Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green" 2ND 
EDITION. I will not comment on lightfastness ... you can conduct your own 
tests or rely on published information (e.g. in The Artists Handbook). What 
I am mostly interested in is how to mix colors, and why mixing some colors 
does not work very well.

I must say that the Wilcox book does a great job in EXPLAINING why mixing 
some colors works great but mixing others does not. In addition, he 
includes a long series of exercises which you can do yourself to confirm 
(or refute) everything he has to say about mixing colors. He also takes 
into account the difference between opaque and transparent pigments. I 
would say this is an extremely useful book to help in understanding real 
color as we encounter it in pigmented paints, no matter what the carrier 
(water, oil, acrylic). If color mystifies you, as it has me, then you 
should have a look at this book.

Cheers ...... Charles

Michael,
Thanks for the tip on transferring the image.  I wonder if you couldn't 
just use a regular household iron. Has anyone tried this? We used to use 
xylene, but whew! talk about toxic! It makes sense that heat would 
transfer a laser image, since heat is used to get it onto the paper in 
the first place.

I use an iron all the time, much cleaner and easier than the chemicals.

Subject: [Baren 19008] strange messages... 

Dear baren,
although this has to do with David Bull, I thought I'd let everybody know.
I have received another e-mail under David's name, possibly with a virus
(126k, something about Japanese nudity - you know what I mean).
It CERTAINLY was not sent by David, but you ought to be careful.

Dear David,
I think you should talk to some e-genius you may know and figure this out.
It's not so much about your public image, which cannot be hurt by such
stupid actions, as that it brings to the conclusion that your archives and
all about the computer which belong to you are not safe.
regards,
Dimitris
