Herb, In that case (as I pointed out) then he is a professional who can justify the cost.
I on the other hand am not and therefore cannot.

You can't say someone is "saving" when they in fact have to shell out cash to buy something - that's part of the problem with our consumer based society - we've been duped into believing we're actually "saving" money by purchasing something we don't necessarily need. We may want it but we don't _need_ it.< suppose Tom knows he's going to shoot 20,000 pictures next year no matter what camera he has. the one with no consumable cost is going to have to be a lot more expensive, even including support peripherals and time, to make up for the one with a fixed consumable cost.
