Tektronix Phasers... I remember using those. Very vidid color,
but messy as heck.

Maybe machines are not very bad, but I never was able to get a good quality
of my pictures, in most cases these brainless operators decided to reformat,
reframe the images so that sometimes I was getting the trees without the top
part, the portraits were without the part of the face, etc. They were
explaining that with the wrong format, wrong H/W ratio of my shots...
Yea-yea. I guess the hands are the most serious reason.

Yeah, I would prefer to print my own too, but I don't know what
printer to get. I was thinking the Canon 6700D but I'm not sure
how it compares, and I'm bummed that in the USA it can't print on
CD's or DVD's. I'm not sure what to do.

That's a Rimage 2000i CD/DVD duplication system. I can put in a stack of
100 disks, and it will burn, and print labels onto the disks robotically, &
unattended. The black box to the right of it is a dedicated PC that
controls it. My main PC is dark, and to the left of the monitor. I use that
monitor for both systems right now, as my other monitor just died.
