Wow...you really are an unsung hero, then!

My copy of the Encyclopedia of Color Correction is totally dog-eared  
and riddled with highlighter marks. It's really fantastic.

I just wish Apple offered printed versions of their manuals. Last  
week I tried submitting the Color 1.0 PDF manual to Kinkos to get it  
laid off to dead-trees, but the goofballs down there called me back  
to say that they won't print the manual, because it's "copy righted",  
and will refuse to print it unless I got written permission from Apple.

You gotta be effin' kidding me...Screw that.
