Quite honestly, I have more trouble with digital print quality

Yet another reason not to be bothered with digital, while still
possible.
Lets not blame the failings of the customer on the technology.
Most of the problems I see could be solved if they would read
their owners manuals.
No, I was replying as the customer. Did I need to know how the
cylinder turned into pictures? No. Do I want to know? No. Do I have
to know with digital? Yes. Do I cringe? Yes.
I am not blaming digital. I am still not attracted by the workflow.
It's great for ebay!
You have a fine attitude for a snapshot consumer. I understand Bill's
frustrations well ... I get the same attitude from the
'professionals' regards their (allegedly broken) computer system: "I
don't care how it works, I just want it to do what I want without my
having to learn anything."
I don't know that it's the right attitude for a photographer. Even
when I shoot film, I cannot obtain the results I want without
understanding the machinery and process thoroughly.
