Re: [DL] Drawing out grid maps

[Harry Canyon <harrycanyon@mac.com>]

Ya know this reminds me...  Once upon a time you could get large
(presentation sized 3'x4?) pads of 1" grid paper from office supply stores.
I wonder if you still can?

I think this would be ideal for this situation.

(Who's now going to search Staples, Office Depot, and Office Max's
websites... :-) I'll report back when I have some data.)

Take care,

Derek
