And those many people lacking patience can take a happy boat to hell for all I care. Its the same set of impatient dicks that try to run me off the road. The same set of impatient dicks that bitch and moan while waiting in line for anything. I think I JUST might be able to live with it. If that makes me arrogant, then fuck it, let it be. I don't think I'll be losing any sleep over that either. Its called the gentle art of making enemies. Make enemies rather than friends, otherwise, friends may just make you. > Personally, I dislike computer monitors as a way to view photographs. > I much prefer a good hard copy print.

Its less hassle to setup than a slide projector. Its far from the worst way. I am disapointed we don't all have 300 or 400 dpi displays by now. buuuut consumerism took over in the computer world, and "good enough to sell" is all the better any of this garbage will ever be now.
