I agree. I reprinted one of my favorite photos today, just because I
know that both my printer and I are now capable of making a better
print than we were the last time I worked with this image. It was
rewarding.

Well, let me give you a little nudge :-) I think you should get a
printer. I should have said this in my earlier post-- that is,
having a printer has reinvigorated my connection to photography.
Moreover, I once showed some prints to a colleague, and she said
that it had been a long time since she had seen photographic
prints--she had been mostly enjoying photos through the web. She
said it was good to reconnect with the photographic print. Igor,
the web is really great, but photographic prints are really, really
great! :-). Hope this helps (get you off the fence :-)).
I'm with Christine on this too.
As nice as a projected slide show or still image presentation on a
display can be, there is something tactile and immediate about a
fine print that just womps them flat.
An AV presentation with well choreographed audio and such can be as
emotionally stirring ... but it's a different experience, with a
different syntax of expression, and does not lend itself to the same
appreciation.
A good printer, capable of rendering those fine print experiences,
is essential to the development of my photography.
