I think the film users on this list are the technology advancers.  All the ones 
who are posting are pressing for _improvement_ in the technology so that it 
will do what they want.  Does that not make the digitista the Luddites?  "This 
technology is perfectly good enough for me" sounds less progressive than "I 
wish this would do X".
