I would certainly agree with that. Was anybody thinking it would be
appropriate to discuss digicams in a way unrelated to film scanning?
What is perfectly appropriate I would think are discussions about the
economic and technical tradeoffs, and I suspect that over time there
will be a crossover point where digicam wins out on both accounts. I
would love to observe these developments taking place through
discussions on this list.
