Digital BW, The Print

I suspect that most of us are on here because we have given up the wet 
dark room and have taken the ink jet plunge. Most of use are on here 
because we care about B&W - pledge to forsake all other forms ( except 
for a few trolls, misfits and other subhuman creatures ). While a 
computer is an necessary tool in this process, this is not a computer 
forum. While most use PS from time to time (I use it as little as 
possible),  it's not the only imaging package nor necessarily the best 
imaging package available.

This is not a forum about computer issues or S/W issues with PS or 
memory management issues with Windows. Before one can have "Digital B&W" 
one first needs an image either form a digital camera (having to do with 
photography) to convert, a negative (which has to come from a film again 
having to do with photography) or on an odd occasion a print scanned and 
to be printed.

There are plenty of places to discuss computer problems. If the 
discussion of the mainstay of B&W photography is off limits, then why 
the hell isn't the limitations of a 32 bit processor and how to get 
around it?
