[Leica] IMG: Slow Process

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Lluis,

I, too, can recall when the only upgrades to my daily tools were things 
I could hold in my hand, like lenses, pens, or darkroom chemicals.  And 
I'm happy for you that you have a new enlarger. Now you need only 
electricity and clean water in order to produce great photographs.

But, for those of us who depend on the internet and such, we have to 
protect ourselves against the hackers  and bad guys, who get smarter all 
the time.  Unfortunately, some of the so-called upgrades are poorly 
created and cause unintended problems for the unsuspecting public.  I 
rely on my son, who spent his entire working career as a computer 
systems analyst for government contractors, to check out and 
differentiate between the good and the bad.  He hasn't failed me yet.

Enjoy the darkroom.

The download took 3 min., preparing the update took 5 min., and then the update began.  Though it all went smoothly, and I didn't time the final process, the bar seemed to move like molasses in January.
