Hi, Alexandre.
You missed my point...
It's easy for computer literals to convert between media. We
eagerly await the future for another chance to convert our images
to brave new technology...:-)
My point was that the conversion task, and even the task of
sitting down before one of them silly PC-boxes just to get an
image on a piece of paper, that's not convenient technology in
_most_ people's eyes.
Best,
Jostein
