When I bought my *istD about a year and a half ago, I was abolutely
certain that I would continue to shoot film. For my first shoot, two
days later, I brought both the *istD and my 6x7, thinking I would just
play a bit with the *istD and do the job with the 6x7. The 6x7 never
came out of its case. I haven't shot a roll of film since them,
although I plan to do so one of these days. I really do. Maybe with my
ancient Leica. Or the 6x7. Soon.
Paul and I are probably the funniest conversions.
Before buying my istD, I was calling it a crippled whore, I think Paul
had coined cheap plastic toy as his pejorative.

I remember tose messages quite clearly, Bill, and would never thrown them in
your face!
This person has changed his mindset several times over the years, and is
likely to again.
The last time I did it so embarrassingly is when I told a room full of
engineering compatriots that a good mechanical designer could never do "real
designing" on a piddly ol' CRT! What folly!
Yup. Within a year I was a totally converted board designer, working on
AutoCAD® furiously, putting out a LOT more than I used to... <BG>
The only reason that sort of conversion doesn't "happen to everyone" is that a
lot just plain hate to admit it!
Good for you!
