RE: As sent to the neutron mailing list

[Bob Von Dreele]

Having read all these messages about the merits and advantages of neutron
TOF and synchrotron X-ray powder diffractometers for structure
determination & refinement, I'm a little reminded of the Mac vs PC
arguments that sometimes rage around. Each of these machines have
particular applications that they excel in, some which are "even" and some
they are particularly poor in. Quoting one number for "resolution" is
particularly invidious because it's like comparing apples & oranges (yeah,
I know they are both fruit that grows on trees but viva la difference).
