(Should I be blushing now?) </BLOCKQUOTE> Clyde While I admire your consciousness to keep reminding your clients about getting their piano tuned, and doing it all with your typewriter. But it's not just the antiquity of it. It is the time you are taking to do this. You can get the same results with preprinted post cards, and mailing labels with the last tuning date on it, and save yourself  hours of work each week.  You don't need sophisticated programs and printers, much less scanners. I was doing this back in the old days, with a 25 K computer and a dot matrix printer. Wim</HTML>
