[William Robb's long, sad story snipped, but he does note:] > Most people are just too stupid to figure things out
William, I feel your pain, but IMHO it's not people that are stupid, it's the technology. On a daily basis, I deal with computer users that don't understand that to see the rest of some text in a window, they must use the little scroll bars on the side. (No kidding!) Digital cameras, the Internet and computers in general are still in their evolutionary "primordial ooze". We're in the stone age of information technology; engineers and designers are still getting digital cameras over the hump of usability by *anyone*. A hundred years from now, people will look back on this time and wonder how we made it through the day. Just about any technology invented, discovered or created by humans has gone through a bleeding-edge phase before wide spread adoption: fire, "modern" medicine, cars, telephones. These technologies were clumsy to use to start with, then bright young men and women thought of new ways to redesign and repackage them to bring them to the masses. It just takes awhile to get there. FYI, I'm not a digital junkie myself, and will be sticking with my film cameras for a while more. You're right, they still work great and offer better results than digital for most folks. t
