[filmscanners] RE: Digital Darkroom Computer Builders?

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

Austin,

I can accept that it was neither of your intentions; but the topic as well
as the tone tends to contribute to the unintended consequence of a full
fledged argument leading to hard feeling and name calling if one does not
watch it carefully.  As I think I noted, neither platform is any better or
worse than the other in terms of an overall evaluation so it boils down to
personal preferences and pragmatics of one's situation.  While it may have
sounded as if I was attributing blame, that was not my intent.  My intent
was merely to head off the possibility of a relatively fruitless debate that
will neither answer the original poster's question nor add any meaningful
information.

Laurie,

That wasn't the intention at all!  I was simply stating that there are some
programs that simply don't run on a Mac, and secondly, stating that I don't
believe there is really any advantage to the graphics of a Mac than that of
a PC...  If the Mac does have some advanced and significant graphics
capabilities that the PC doesn't have at this point in time, I'd certainly
like to know.

Austin
