I'm totally into it. I love it. However, and it's probably true of all economics, you can always make the numbers appear to do tricks. I just don't kid myself about what the transition has cost me when I factor all things into the equation. Digital photography is many wonderful things to many wonderful people. But a money saver it ain't been. And it won't be until the upgrade paths stabilize and you've actually bought your last digital camera, your last computer and your last RAW processor; and now just produce work with it for the next 15 to 20 years. That's how it was. That's not how it is. Regards, George Lottermoser george@imagist.com On Apr 3, 2007, at 6:23 PM, Eric wrote: > I'm very happy to be all digital.
