Mary Ellen,
Thanks for the URL pointer to the new(?) printing@MIT homepage. It
looks good and I do like the ability to find out about various printing
services from a single homepage. Is the URL linked from a higher level
web page? I couldn't see a link to it from web.mit.edu/is/help.
Kip, you may want to request a pointer to Copy Tech's services page
from the URL below - hey, we're all just one big happy family, right?
