Our never-ending paper is finally in press. However, we are so poor (just like most Americans these days) that we cannot afford to pay USD440 per color figure for 11 of our figures that are in rainbow shades.

One can say "Who cares!" since we bought in OA for USD3000, and almost everyone will be reading our e-paper. However, I love "Prog. in Oceano." because it's a good journal and it's where I published my first paper in English in 1992.

So, I printed out all the rainbow figures in gray scale, and decided that I had to do something about them. I don't know how much time I spent, and how many emails I sent out for help. But, I am almost done.

I may be poor, but I still have time
