Anyone tell me if there's any reason why I couldn't use the "storage" type
of plastic boxes they sell a Kmart or Walmart for shoes and clothes to
develop prints in as opposed to buying new trays? I recently bought a larger
easel very reasonably and I'd like to keep from spending over a hundred
bucks for a set of 20 x 24 trays. So I thought I would buy a few of these
storage boxes and cut them down to trays . Then i could get buy for about
$25.00. They wouldn't have to last forever at that price - in case I finally
make the digital move.

No! You *cannot* use those trays for photography! What on earth were you
thinking? You *must* use only the Official Approved Photo-Type Trays that You
Buy at the Photo Store. Anything else will give inferior results.

Sheesh, when will people learn?

It's fun to demonize the neo-cons and rejoice in their discomfiture, but
don't make the mistake of thinking US foreign policy was set by Norman
Podhoretz or William Kristol. They're the clowns capering about in front of
the donkey and the elephant. The donkey says the UN should clean up after
them, and the elephant now says the donkey may have a point. Somebody has
come out with a dustpan and broom.
