RE: filmscanners: real value?

["Laurie Solomon" <laurie@advancenet.net>]

Ok, I accept your argument.  I really did not miss your point; I was just
working on a different set of arguments to which that point was not very
relevant.  Yes, it is true that, if we quick freeze a state of affairs in
time, it will go through the changing time continuum unchanged and will
continue to work in the same way it originally did in its heyday even though
it may no longer be suited to its new conditions.

It has been a pleasure communicating and miscommunication with you on this;
but it s probably time we drop it before the angry list Hums start attacking
us.

Laurie I believe you are missing my point an analogy would be a vintage
car.
if it runs when you start it and it does not need new parts it will
still get you from A to B in the same way as it did when it was new.
So it is with computers and their peripherals ,Its only when you change
Operating systems or tack on bits that are too new that you have
problems.
There seems to be an obsession with keeping up with the Joneses so to
speak.
I can only repeat that if the kit still works then it still damn well
works
