          I just called Kinko's Copier service in the La Jolla Village
          Square center and asked what their large format copier fees
          are.  They charge $1 sq.ft. if they run the machine and
          fifty cents sq.ft. if customer operates; they have a xerox
          3050.  So I guess a 36"X48" size copy would be $12 if they
          run it and $6 if the customer operates the machine?  (I've
          always been dumb in math, but that's what my calculator is
          telling me.) This is what they're charging throughout San
          Diego.
 
          I am amazed at these prices.  Before the CDT Ozalid was
          installed down here I sometimes drove to this Kinko's and
          copied maps & charts. In those days a 3'X4' copy was $2.99
          for self-service and less for smaller sheets of paper.  Boy.
          Have our customers been getting a great deal @ $2 per copy
          for UC people and $3 per copy for non-affiliates.
          Unfortunately for all, at the date of this writing the SIO
          Library no longer has an engineering copier (our Ozalid
          crashed a few months ago and CDT [our vendor] hauled it
          outta here.) (Our facetious jokes about dumping this
          unreliable machine off our pier to estabish an artificial
          reef I think are now being seriously considered; except
          we're certain the California State Coastal Commission will
          prosecute whoever tries that without their consent.) - PML
