Steve,
	We discovered (quite by accident) that a program called
"Announcements for Windows" from Parsons Technology, does a great job
of poster titles for little $$$$$$.  The program is primarily 
designed for making greeting cards, but has a "banner" option what
works very well for scientific posters.  It will print on a laser
printer across 4 sheets of paper and putting them together is very
easy.  You can get a copy of the program for $29.95 from:

	Parsons Technology

Good Luck!
