But don't forget that you can make copies of your CDRs with no quality loss. (I try to scan my favourite photos and I usually burn them onto CDR, twice - I then "archive" one and use the other.) I love prints and slides but also think that digital images have their advantages too. In fact I find sharing digital images much easier (pop it into an email, put it on a webpage). I'm reluctant to show people my slides (the average person cannot avoid putting thumb prints on my slides) and projecting them is said to accelerate the fading process. There's space for both in my heart. -- Francis Tang, Postgraduate Research Student. LFCS, Div. of Informatics, Uni. of Edinburgh, EH9 3JZ, UK. Tel: +44 131 6505185. Fax: +44 131 6677209.
