Digital BW, The Print

Just wanted to follow up a little and say thanks to everyone. I was 
able to see what was on my computer by going to www.belarc.com -- it 
is scary what all they could detect!  So from what I understand, I 
need at least a 16 meg video card (good news I already have that) 
and calibration software (like Spyder).  If I get that, then as long 
as I get at least a 17 inch CRT or high end LCD with good resolution 
(2048x1536) I should be good to go.  

Also, I really like the B & W conversion at

Thanks again for everyone's help!
