No. I still don't have that scanner. I bought a new IMac last week,
but they didn't have any scanners in stock. I plan to get one soon.

I thought it was from System 3? Or is it a publication with the same
name? The System 3 book is quite helpful and informative, tho of
course slanted in the direction of making you buy their stuff. I

quickly.

Paul,
West Systems has a book, appropriately named The Epoxy Book. Cost is $5.00.
8.5"X11" format.....It covers more than you probably want to know on the subject.
Written in everyday language and complete with cartoons.

West Systems has a book, appropriately named The Epoxy Book. Cost is $5.00.
8.5"X11" format.....It covers more than you probably want to know on the subject.
Written in everyday language and complete with cartoons.
