It is impressive how something, as trival as a Master's license, can
consume more data storage than an entire novel. Why scan at 3,200 DPI
(sic) when the printer can't match it?

It's got something to do with the document and
scanner. At the lower resolutions it comes out
looking all greenish. At 3,200 it has completely
normal colors identical to the original. Maybe
it's got something to do with all the very fine
filigree same as found on currency.

Sounds like a nice copier.

What picture is on your ticket? I know the 100 tons have a 2 masted
schooner a oilfield crew boat and a fishing party boat with 15 people
on deck included the skipper on top the wheelhouse the coast in the
background and its partly cloudy, seas running 1-2 feet.

Now on a masters ticket you will see a 140 foot tug boat with the capt
on the wheel and a deck hand on the bow. It an old wood steam powered
tug looks to be an early 1900's model. Its heading from port to
starboard and will cross you bow. Then crossing port to starboard
behind them is a 500 foot tanker hauling ass. Then crossing from
starboard to port is the USS America a luxury liner. both ships are
flying the American flag on the stern. Seas are running 8-10 foot with
white caps. It's overcast and its has no referrence to land at all.


The picture tells the story. Can you post just the art on-line, I've
never seen a 25gt coastal.

And Congrats! Is this your 2-1 ?


Hey, that gives me an idea. Maybe I'll try
scanning in some hundred dollar bills.

I woulden't suggest doing that.
