Are there alot of people who actually *prefer* an inkjet print to an Ilfochrome? Would any self respecting museum or art gallery agree? I suspect that the digital prints are in fact *good enough* to justify what I assume is a considerably lower cost. Nowadays, I view most movies on our VCR and perhaps I'll move to DVD (for an actual quality upgrade) but I don't kid myself that the quality of the picture is as good as the quality of a film in a theater. Convenience and cost are worth alot. Sort of like a T2 vs. an M3, sure they both take great photos, but which do you really want? Jonathan Borden
