I received the cdrom this weekend of Ria's Antique Postcards from Phil at Red Castle. Wow! These are absolutely beautiful and I am extremely pleased with the quality of the images - I just _had_ to play with it for a while on Sunday, even tho I had alot of other things I should've been doing! I printed up a few of the images, to see how they would turn out with my color printer - and they are gorgeous! I will be using this cdrom ALOT! Thanks Phil, for the great, fast service - and for putting out such a high quality product! I had also ordered one of his unm's on special, the one of Christ with the cross, and this is so beautiful, too. Phil also included some extra goodies - thanks, Phil! I am looking forward to more of these cdroms in the future, Phil - definitely a great product!

Buying UM'd isn't just a matter of spending less on the initial purchase. Some companies don't sell "mounted" at all. Those who use static cling or HALOS (industrial velcro) on acrylic mounts will testify to the obvious advantage of being able to store more images in a smaller volume of space. And any acrylic mount user will praise the wonders of being able to see-where-you're-stamping when you use see-through acrylic mounts.

Has anyone come up with an innovative idea of stacking/storing/retrieving = items from these containers?
