Changes coming to Morgana (was Re: [PrintOwners] Folders - Challenge and otherwise....)

[Borzou Azabdaftari]

Thanks Scott.  The creasing is why I'm in love with the digifold (and the
easy set up).  We do a LOT of digital work here.  I was actually hoping to
get Digifold in the future, so maybe I'll try and hold out for it.  I
thinking maybe of getting the Baum now, and just a digi creaser down the
line too.  Who knows, we'll see how it goes.  Thanks.
