Digital BW, The Print

Roy,

If I bought a Mac notebook or laptop, what all would I need to run your
system?  Do I also need a Photoshop copy for the Mac? (I probably ought to
have one anyway, but that is more $.) I'm not a Mac person nor a programmer.
I'm not even sure what laptop computers they make.  (A second desktop in my
office is not an option.)

I'd rather just work from my Windows platform, but I'm not sure how
realistic it is to wait and see what happens.  Are you really going to be
able to port the system over, or is this a "maybe someday" type of thing? 

I have not followed the details of your system enough to know what I'm
getting into, but I may need to get control of the individual jets of the
2200 and 4000 in order to so some more interesting things.  If your system
can deliver that in a way that isn't too time consuming, I might go for it
for at least some of what I do.  Ideally, I like to support open systems,
and it sounds like your approach is close to that.

Anyway, I'm just thinking out loud here.

Paul

My favorite transfer method these days is the little USB flash memory stick.
They are so convenient, I have a 256Mbyte stick and without any driver
loading you just plug it into a usb slot (I've got them on my keyboard).
Works on windows  XP, Mac OSX and Mac OS9.
