Digital BW, The Print

thanks, Antonis and everyone else...

I'm very space constrained at the moment. I thought there was more 
out there in the way of mac emulators...I can't even find any that 
emulate OS X... I was trying not to add another computer...if I do, a 
printer will have to go for now.

I think I may look at a used power book or iBook. We have our pc's 
and my wife's mac (not anywhere near my darkroom) on a wireless 
network that seems to make file transfers totally easy (in fact the 
whole network was a no-brainer...plug and play 3com adapter and it 
worked fine with all the pc's and the airport...nice).

off to ebay and used ibooks <g>.
