can't argue with that

<<4) provide a readable manual that makes sense to the average person who

Yes, the "translational" English is tough to understand.  Especially the part 
where it tells you to put the emulsion side down on the top of a page and the 
very next section says to put emulsion side up!!  I tried it both ways!

<<5) reasonably handle negs and slides at least one f-stop over and under
exposed, and more reasonably 2 stops in each direction from "exact"
exposure.>>

I haven't tried negatives yet.  Even with the greater latitude, I believe 
these will be more difficult for me.  I'll probably try TMAX or some other B &
 W first.
