Yes, if you're just plunking for pics to attach to Emails, what the hell. Or, if you are such an amazingly good photo technician that every image you shoot is exposed absolutely perfectly - particularly in terms of the high-lights - then shoot jpgs. But if you want more information, as the sensor saw it and recorded it, then shoot RAW. And yes, to someone else, there was an initial period when I shot high-res jpgs - and then I did some reading, and did some experimenting, and I'd never go back. And that, by the way, was the experience of the five photographers in the Harvard News Office, who before I arrived in my office down the hall from them, were shooting jpgs. But after much prodding, they started playing with RAW - and now all shoot RAW.
