I've found it encouraging that people like you in the digi-biz continued to
use film and glass. Now I know why, and I feel freer to continue to invest
in the equipment I love. I found your explanations very useful. Peter K.'s
goadings certainly served those of us looking for a short dissertation on
the current limits of digi-tech, even if they drove you up a wall and over a
mound of pixels. Thanks.
