    Feels good, too, doesn't it?

    I wish Kinkos would have kicked me out on any of the hundred times my wife dragged me in there to help make party invitations, Christmas cards, etc.

    I have had no problems when it comes to making copies there.

    If I'm not mistaken -- and after a long battle last night with Patron Silver I might be -- this has been addressed here within the last six months to a year. I think even a or two lawyer checked in with some clarification.

    Of course, little things like that are why I invested in my own printer/scanner/copier/fax machine...
    If I had he money to do it all again tho, I'd buy one with a legal-size flat bed, instead of letter. You can make it work, it's just more effort.

    But then you wouldn't have been able to afford as much Slap Boudreaux's Creole Seasoning.

    That'll show 'em.

    I said the same thing at Staples. I pointed out the byline, showed my business card and then showed my driver's license. I politely explained I wasn't making copies for profit or distribution (hell, I was only making four of each). They said no problem after that.

    Kinko's in Toronto was in the middle of a really messy lawsuit with some educational publishers because professors from U of Toronto were basically printing off chapters or short stories from text books and handing them out to their classes.

    A few years back they wouldn't even let me copy sample pages for a dummy book we were working on. After I explained to them what it was, they were OK.

    I don't have a problem with their policy. People who think that books, music, DVD's are in the public domain are basically stealing.
     
  11. You should have gone to Popcopy ;)

    I think you're right. My head felt like Barry Bonds'.
    But, after two Aleve, toast and two cups of coffee, I'm back.
