Digital BW, The Print

Actually Harvey, you always express yourself very well indeed...  (liquid
heads excl)... <VBG>

I agree, they will outgrow it once the "wow look what I can do" factor dies
and the "tasteful/powerful artistic vision" mind takes over again.   The
kids who work with this stuff certainly embrace it...  But, talent is
talent... just because you have a great knowledge of certain software does
not mean you have the talent to output something wonderful.
