Hi Jim,
With  my tired old eyes I'd almost kiss yer butt to get one as good as this! 
;-)

Hell these days there are far too many people looking at computer screens 
and making comments on all the digital techie stuff that one shouldn't blink 
at! WHY?

Well a great big print is still the best way to look at any of them! If it 
looks smashing in a 13X19 or 16X20 print then who cares which camera or 
computer twigglies were used or not used?  It's still the best criteria of 
whether a shot works or not! LOOK AT A PRINT! SCREW THE SCREENS!

Constantly eye balling a computer screen really gets to a point it begins to 
mean diddly squat!

Make a print or two. Stand back a reasonable/proper distance in relation to 
size of print, then make a comment! Good, Bad or Ugly!

cheers,
ted
