[PADG:1612] Re: digital reformatting charges

[Charlotte Tancin <ct0u@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Andy -- Our digital photography services are still in their fledgling 
stages, but you can see our prices at 
<http://huntbot.andrew.cmu.edu/HIBD/Services/Charges.shtml>.

Could I ask what kind/brand of digital back you bought?  We're trying to 
make a purchasing decision for a setup of that type here and could use some 
more information.

How are you?  I see your postings every once in awhile and it sounds like 
you're doing good things down there.  Things here are pretty good, although 
I've had a staffing problem here for some months and have been running the 
library alone and getting behind on everything.  Happily, I've just hired a 
new assistant librarian, he starts next week, and I'm looking toward the 
light at the end of the tunnel.   I hope all is well with you and your 
sweetie.  Is it spring there yet?

Best regards, chuck
