I hope that geeks and nerds was meant in a good way. I am also just 
getting started in B&W inkjet printing. So far I don't see how it is 
any different than darkroom work, as far as the tinkering aspect 
goes. I don't know of any darkroom printer who is not always looking 
for the perfect paper, film, developer combination. Maybe people who 
shoot nothing but slides are used to just taking what they get, but 
to me black and white work has always been more hands on. If that 
makes me a geek and a nerd, then at least I am in good company. :>)
