Good point, Ditta, and while we’re on the subject, you might find Franklin’s take on slides vs digital media of interest. (See artblog.net) He does a little math calculation based on 25 applications for teaching jobs, each requiring 20 slides of work and comes up with a $500 cost (and very little possibility of getting a job –1/250 chance). But if you put the images on cds instead of the obligatory slides, the cost would be $8.75 …and presumably the odds of getting the job would still be 1/250, so at least you’re ahead a little money. (Image is that pretty new $20 bill.)
