Called Underground Copy, it has been slowly building business, with gross monthly revenues averaging more than $10,000. “The students like the convenience; they like the array of service offerings,” says Rick Carlson, director of the UVM Print & Mail Center, in Burlington, Vt.

President and COO Shantanu Narayen will replace Chizen, who led Adobe for seven years, on December 1. While the “Send to...” button was eventually taken out of all versions that did not go to FedEx/Kinko’s customers, Adobe still suffered a black eye from what some customers in the printing industry viewed as a lack of loyalty. Still, Chizen told the Associated Press that he wasn’t “leaving under any cloud,” and that
