Well there are cheaper alternatives, mentioned by others in this thread.

I noticed, but I wasn't thinking about it seriously at that point and
didn't save them.

However, I have another related question I'm sure can be answered here.
I can make a .pdf of a 20-page document by using my printer software,
but I can't attach the thing to Mail and send it. Mail just sat there
spinning and I had to quit it and delete that message. I broke up the
file and sent it as more than one e-mail message, but lost the inserted
graphics(which weren't vital, so I didn't paste them back in) and some
formatting. What did I do wrong?

True. But, with the exception of Biblical Johnny, most here do. However,
I can't possibly imagine sharing a meal with someone like JR. I'm
supposed to be in his kill-file; I do like it when he can't resist
peeking under the bandages.
