The power that the computer brings to the table is probably what is keeping 
me at this.  It is possible to do things on the computer that I can't do or 
can't do without great manipulation and work that is just as difficult to 
repeat again for the second print in the darkroom.  I'm not completely sold 
on digital output for B&W photographs but the process is changing so rapidly. 
 Who knows what will be out there tomorrow.
