Re: "Fake" Black & White

2005-02-05 by John

I am not trying to mislead here if you read the subject header in 
that forum; it said 'Are those fake black and white', I am merely 
using the same phrase.

Anyway my objective is to hear others opinion, it's maybe pro or 
against. Only after years ahead, I maybe laughing at what I have said 
before therefore one should not be to hot-headed, it's just a 
discussion.
