I agree with you, I'm not rushing too quickly to put everything into purely digital form, but I think we're in a much better situation now than 10 years ago. The standardization of storage media and formats in use now ensures that as the next great storage media comes along there will be many ways to transfer the data that never really existed in the Vic 20, etc. era. Too many people have too much in their existing data systems now for them to disappear so quickly and without translation capabilities. However, I much prefer having a book of pictures that I can leaf through quietly, not glowing at me ... the problem for me is how to put such nice books together given limited time and facilities for darkroom work at hand. Digital darkroom work is so much easier... then all I need is a very high quality printer to put the end result together :) However, nothing takes the place of a nice print on good paper from the darkroom. There's something special about it that is otherwise lost in a mechanical printing process. Godfrey
