Not badly  intended, to be sure. No one I would rather have a drink with than 
Jon,  and I really did miss those chocolate covered expresso beans! Jon and I 
 
have been arguing over how to do things, and enjoying the argument, for  
longer 
than I can remember. Jon has been a great reseller of ColorVision  products, 
and has handed out many copies of Matering Digital Printing with  his 
products 
(which has my name on the cover, though Harald gets most of  the credit) so I 
am 
interested in his success on many levels; though first  and formost as THE 
posterchild for digital black and white.  



Jon was there. We had a long talk about our mutually enjoyable times in  
Spain and Germany. I suspect that he was just looking at what the other booths  
were exhibiting. He's incognito now... no pony tail and clean shaven, but he was 
 clearly enjoying himself at the show. I asked him about the new split tone 
K7,  and decided I'll try it. The NK 7 is a great product.
