Okay, I just tried and I got several of my old DOS programs to install to my hard drive and run from the command prompt (available through "Start/Program/Accessories") on my Windows XP. Now I don't use these programs anymore, but that's because the newer programs offered more features and faster performance--something I'm looking for as I'm dealing with larger digital image files and more complex Photoshop capabilities. Lenses don't change performance characteristics at the same rate as computer programs. There are only two things a lens does, focus and aperture control--the speed at which it does these for the most part does not make me go out and buy a new 24mm 2.8 just because it focuses faster. I think this is apples and oranges. I want a camera product that I'm buying to be part of my complete camera systems and to be compatible with future additions to that system. But then again, we're only arguing with Peter who is definitely pro-Sigma biased, no matter hell or high water. (Sorry Peter, but if it squawks like a duck...) BTW, I have 3 Sigma lenses I purchase several years ago for my 1v. One didn't work with my 10D when I went digital, but when I sold my 10D (because even after sending it to Canon, it still had focus issues) and I bought a 20D, all 3 worked fine. At least no issues yet. (24mm 2.8, 14mm 2.8, and 100mm 2.8 macro) JD * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
