The high-end ThinkPad vs. PowerBook G4 (best in its series); IntelliStation Power Series vs. the best of the G5s; OSX vs. the choice of Linux, iSeries OS/400, Unix(pSeries) IBM zSeries(Mainframes), IBM eServer xSeries systems. Also the choice to run MS Widows OS. > Being slightly different surely does not bring it into the point and > shoot category does it.

You will find such unhelpful customer service in abundance with Apple Mac. I have experienced difficulties with my PowerBook G4 and it was with Apple today and back and the next day it was back to Apple. Faulty cd/dvd drive, irregular panicking to mention a few. > > Yes I think so! Many here will recall the recent previous long thread > you were involved in that went nowhere... Did it not? the question hasn't gone away yet. You tried to kill it very un-timely, for the simple reason that it posed a threat to your trade. If everyone were to follow the instructions offered by Epson, Photoshop and to some extent Apple, and apply such instructions meticulously then the whole colour technician's service is dead; traders of video-graphic equipment will be out of business. While we are here, Drum-scanning adds no tangible value to 35mm scans, any decent scanner with multi processing capability and with 3.2 and above optical density is perfect ( a topic for the next thread!!) > and perhaps will want to know what your background is, and what your interest is in the field of > digital imaging.

I did introduce my self when I joined Prodig. However I'll do it again. I am Mr Okorji, a photography enthusiast. I hold a post graduate degree in Architecture, a degree in Law, Bar education, and a host of proficiencies including computing and manipulation of images. My interest in photography stems from my education and career in architecture. Currently undertaken a course in photography with NYIP. I shoot with D100 and F5, Scan with own Nikon 5000ED, print with Epson 2100 and Hewlett Packard 1220c used mainly on my P300 IBM machine, a collection of fine Nikon optics, Canon XL 1s for my occasional videography. I do not intend to earn a living mainly out of photography or becoming a colour technician, or providing photo printing service or sale of photographic equipment (except of course as a Director or Company Secretary to such companies). So you can relax, I'm not in competition with you!! However, like anything I do, I take it seriously. > Regards to all Inno' =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
