The words you are looking for are "tedious", "silly", or "indulgent", I believe. ;-> I couldn't believe 96EPI either, but I've been doing around 33-36 a lot lately, and, well, these warps were 1/3 the size, so they were three times as dense.

I find mindless work therapeutic now, but it took a few years to get here... <BR/><BR/>"Run of the mill", Sue. Since the video the phrase started to sound like a reproach to the limitations of my ability. Kind of like a measuring stick or a threshold. <BR/><BR/>Connie, soon enough!!!
