Rod,

If you are talking about the building in the left column of page 1,
there is little I can do about that other than replacing the image.
That is an "inherited" picture from an A4 effort someone made last year.
 However, I just printed it and I'm not seeing the jaggies you describe.
 Given Josh's tight time frame, I anticipated he'd just have Kinko's run
color copies.  No time for offset and the paper would probably be
whatever "color copy paper" they have laying about ... probably 28#.
The copious would likely be printed B&W.  I think the audience for LISA
is not marketing/ print production type people.  It's guys with backup
pocket protectors that find calculators work slower than their brain.

The only item I can see that may need work is the quote under the "open
door elephant" prints a bit light ... and this, I can fix.

Thanks,
Mike Ellsworth
