When I tried yesterday I got "File not found" I will try again with a
different browser.

OK, MSIE found Grex.org just fine today. I've had some problems with Netscape
finding pages before, so maybe that's what happened yesterday.

Hmm. Netscape 3.01 on my Mac found grex.org with no problem.

Re #145: If you really want to print at 1:1 scale, and it *is* 14.5", then
get a little bit of 11x17 paper (the size of two 8.5x11 pages side-by-side,
it is used often for newsletters). Of course, as TS said, the printer ought
to be able to scale it if we can't get exactly the right size.

No problem. Sometimes in the heat of discussion, obvious solutions get
overlooked. I was just afraid no one had suggested it b/c there was some good
reason not to use it.

(or you could attach two sheets of normal paper together...)

The board minutes indicated that there was curiousity about what has
happened to this idea.
Right now what is needed is for someone (possibly Valerie) to print out
a high-resolution master of the last version of the design, and
then someone (possibly me) to make two trips to Stanley Sawicki's in
Detroit -- one to drop off the master, and one to pick up the finished
stickers.
I've let this slide in part because I've been discouraged by the
total lack of response to my two previous publicity initiatives, and in
part because Winter is a lousy season for bumper stickers.
But now that Spring is here I can probably be prodded into stirring from
hibernation.

Sorry not to have read the previous 157 responses, but will you also offer
a bike-sized bumper sticker?

I doubt very much that there will be a bike-size sticker: it costs $175 for
the one design in one size. Probably we will suggest that you take a pair
of scissors to the auto-size sticker and hack away as best you can.
I realize that's not a very environmentally-friendly answer.

We have tried the conversion process, and there is generally not enough left
to read. Actually, you could not read a bike sticker too well anyway. I
suppose if we really wanted to do some good advertising a trailer would work
better. I presume this is mainly a fund-raiser.

No, it's three parts advertising and one part ego-massage for the Grexer
displaying this sticker on the motor vehicle.

Yup -- now that I work downtown I sometimes watch all the people walking
by with this creeping sense that there are Grexers "right there", but of
course I'll never know for sure. <grin> The T's help, and the
bumperstickers will also help. (They don't end up in the laundry....)

I've looked at my May schedule. I admit defeat: further work on this is
tabled until June. *sigh*
