[pure-silver] Freestyle

Well got my catalogs in yesterday and man was I amazed.  A great many products 
available at far fewer prices.  If you haven't checked them out you should.

Now I found something in there that has me curious.  Anyone ever use their 
"green" chemistry???  If its results are acceptable, why develop the 
sensitivity to metol in the first place.  I don't have enough of a background 
in chemistry (what little organic chemistry I had was in the 11th grade and the 
fact that I remember any of it meant I had a teacher that was smart as an old 
timber wolf) but there probably is some way to get an idea of what are its 
advantages and disadvantages and hopefully someone has seen the results.

Paper prices looked great and for those that work digital there were some good 
values there too.  Still the real acid test is going to be the first order.  I 
am going to do something that drives B&H absolutely nuts.  I am going to ask a 
question.  Don't get me wrong.  B&H is a good company and the one time I was 
shipped a product size that was larger than ordered, they corrected the error 
better than I would have done had I been in there position.  The error was I 
ordered a quart of liquid fix to try it and they shipped a gallon.  Would have 
been more than happy to pay for the quart, or ship it back for a swap.  Yet 
they said keep the gallon, and credited my card for the entire amount of the 
fix.  Good service, and I have rewarded that over the years by B&H being the 
first place and sometimes the only place I have ever looked.

Yet ask a question there, the answer you will get is to refer to the companies 
website.  Now if I had wanted to read the web, I already would have.  If they 
don't know the answer, fine I'll hold where they can pass me to someone that 
does.  It's always burned me a bit that if I am interested enough in one of 
their products to call and ask a question, they should be interested enough to 
answer it, even if it means a hold time or a call on another line that isn't 
toll free.  It been my only gripe with B&H over the years, and as long as I 
knew exactly what I wanted and could just read the order and give them a card, 
I've never been disappointed. 

Now it will be interesting to see how Freestyle is when that order comes.  If 
they answer a question, I'm there.
