The only thing I'd agree with you on is that the Closer Looks are getting lazy, and the ink sucks, but that's about it. Everything else is fine, and $5.50 is a freaking bargain. Get a grip.

My only thing with it is I wish I would go to white paper, instead of newspaper. I don't get it because I end up getting ink all over my face by about the 5th race.

If you're pressing the Form to your face, you're not using it right.

Personally, I think the DRF is great. I download a ton of race cards, read articles on line all the time, etc. -- and I still buy the paper-version DRF. To whatever extent you are going to be in the game, you have your tools and you use them. If the price of the tools is an issue, then you do without. If you don't see value in a certain tool, you don't buy it.

I only whip with a local AP program, and this year they changed it and it is even better, no more gloss paper, it can withhold more now, it is great.
