Re: digital SIGNA bulletin?

 



Jamie,
 
It took around 8 minutes to download but I have a good connection this morning. That's not always the case and pdf files (large ones) will lock my pc up about 1/2 the time.
 
I'm not sure I'd print it out... 28 pages in color, if I want a hard copy, isn't very affordable using the printer I have. The other down side is that I don't usually have much time, especially outside of winter, to sit at a computer and read. (My preference, especially when the power is out, is to curl up with a hot cup of coffee and anything printed till it gets too dark.)
 
On the plus side, I can see more images in color online than most regions could afford to put in print.

Anita,

a very nice production!  I like the layout.  The type is large enough to read easily, although I prefer a sans serif, such as Verdana.  This is another advantage of an electronic document: one can enlarge it in the screen to a readable size!  I hate to admit it, but my eyes are going and I am certainly not alone >:o .

OK, everyone, this gives a good example of what is possible and it is only a starting point!  The technology is racing foreward.  It is almost daunting.  For me, it took less than 10 secs. to download, but I do have DSL.  Can anyone try it with dial-up for a comparison?

I have been putting my Newletter for region 4 up on the region 4 site for quite a while so that I can print in black and White and have full color for those that want it.  It can be downloaded and printed or kept in a file.  Using CutePDF and MS Publisher I can compress the photographs with little deterioration and a publisher file of 10 - 34MB becomes a PDF of 1.7 - 2.8 MB.

 

Here is a link to Decembers  http://www.irisregion4.com/publications/DEC09comp.pdf

 

I hope this helps
