I absolutely agree.  I have to run imageprint on an OS9 only machine.  Even
installing OSX and booting under classic doesn't work...but the OSX version
is almost to beta.  The interface is not well polished...and takes some
getting used to...but his has been improving with the various versions that
I've used and just reenforced the point last week when I met with Colorbyte.
I have on occasion had to ask them to do profiles twice...because the first
one was not up to my standards...they did.

The only thing that Andrew and I have been trying to say...is that there is
a product out there that will help you make better prints.
