Fair enough? I would say barely fair enough, and only because I
stopped by and saw your post. Otherwise it would certainly have become

Astounding then, that when color papers came along B&W papers remained

out and campaign for the system I use on the internet because I have
prints to make. As I originally attempted to point out to Tom Baker,
your opinions are not universally held, but never suggested they were
not valid. As Clayton Jones pointed out, there is an attempt at an
objective comparison of various systems at-

Even some of that info is losing relevance, since things are moving so

It's hard to reach command-P from up on this soapbox, so I'll be off now.
