(!) Yep, I'm an old guy. I might have some of those lying around for scanning, I'll have to see.

Part of me is glad that I never have to see it again, but another part of me wishes I could take a stroll down memory lane with you.

They have great quality and layout even as a beginner. My designs were sooo bad. I mean bad. I'm talking like, straight type in a line, on top of an image, with a fat Photoshop stroke. YIKES! Ha ha.
