This whole thing sure is a lot of fun and totally cracks me up. When you 
consider that you can make some darn nice 8x10 prints for less than $1.00 each 
from an $89 printer vs. a full B&W darkroom of the past. Digital phtotography 
sure is cheap. Doesn't bode well for those making a full time living from it, in 
a sense.
