Delete the text portion and replace it with appropriate sized text
in a similar font after scaling?

Or, if you've got the option, use a program with an auto-trace feature to
get a line-art representation of the image, works much better for scaling
geometric-shapes & such..

Sigh, I really need to read co-op more frequently. However, waaaay back there
Richard suggested putting flyers on all the parked cars at UM games. I wont
go into all the logical reasons that you would not reach UM students that way.
But I will remind everyone who lives in Ann Arbor that the reason your cars
dont get plastered with handouts every time you park somewhere is because it
is AGAINST THE LAW in Ann Arbor to do so.

that is no excuse catriona! we must reach more people, and the only
way we can do that is fliering cars during football games. besides
there is no way the police would know who left the fliers there.
so let's do it!
(Did I mention that I wasn't Richard Wallner?)

Really? I'm suing Zap Zone, who flyered me last week.
BTW (sorry about the delay) the deadline for ads in the Once Upon a Mattress
program appears to be Monday.

Well since Im not from A2, I dont know the local laws...Im an old
political activist and doing massive flyer'ing is a basic technique.
Have to be thinking of Grex as a message that needs to be spread...have
to get it on people's minds.
I mean at least I had an idea...one more idea than robh has had
involving grex and how to improve it at least.

The no-stuff-on-windshields is part of Ann Arbor's anti-littering ordinance.
Seems like the city council didnt like finding trash flying around all the
time, and will bill the person/organization that litters for trash collection.
So Grex may end up with a bill from the city.

Re 59 - True, I may not have as many, um, "ideas" as you, but at
least I've kept the place running by contributing money. Can you say the same?

Oh, do let's get into a huge argument about this one more time. I don't think
the last one got people angry enough. :)

On flyer-making: Valerie, thanks for the suggestion to convert the
logo .gif to a .jpg before reducing it. That seemed to help a lot.
I will report further progress. Tum-te-dee-tum...

There is no harm min passing out flyers to those people who are having
tailgate parties.

A thought about the fliers - I recall a while back that someone mentioned
putting "Free E-mail" and the like on them. It occurs to me that, given the
regular complaints about e-mail hogging resources and 'why can't we get more
users in the conferences', advertising the e-mail might be a bad way to go
about it.

Given the apparently large number of young Grex users, why not promote Grex
in high schools and freshman (college) orientations?

All the reasons that local college students are not good candidate for Grexing
have been explained. Primarily, they have so much better access to the net
from school than we could ever provide, and most of them are so busy making
new friends at school that they dont have time to add Grex to the list.
On the other hand, high-schoolers might be a good group to try to reach.
Unfortunately, high-school orientations are not designed to introduce kids
to their community, only their high-school. Many groups would like access
to orientation so they could target this market. Our best hope is to help
a group of high-school folks put together materials and presentations that
they can give themselves.

We do have some fairly active Grexers who are UM students. Sure, many have
their own conferences and aren't interested, but I imagine some of them might
find us more interesting. Some posters around campus wouldn't hurt.
