No, you end up with a small stack of CDs. No volume producer of digital files uses hard drive space for permanent storage. Well, I'm sure there are exceptions, but most don't, anyway. > Sorry, I still like film. That's cool. I tend to get really enthusiastic about whatever I'm into at the moment. It makes me a good equipment reviewer, because the main problem reviewers have is that they get jaded and they can't work up any interest in yet another product. But I have a tendency to go overboard in making the case for whatever I'm enthusiastic about (I was a champion debater in school, and my grandfather endowed a chair in Rhetoric and Debate at the college where he was Chairman of the Board of Trustees. Runs in the family I guess). But I can get behind anyone who likes film and wants to stick with it. I fully intend to continue with black-and-white fine printing as a hobby, or craft, or art, whatever you want to call it. I've spent too many years mastering it, I have too much experience, and I enjoy it too much to give it up. (Of course it might mean that I'm more interested in a P67 than an MZ-S, but it's still film.) --Mike - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
