Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

Don't be a jerk, my friend. The computer does help me in the ways I
wish it to. The fact that I and others sometimes choose to do things
in ways you may think stupid or foolish doesn't provide an excuse for
being snide. You haven't a clue as to the reasons for others actions.

In regard to software,icc standards and the hardware(ie:
densitometers.spectros etc), I could write software and design/build
the things myself if I wished to spend my time that way. I did just
that sort of thing during a working career. Today I do precisely as I
please, no more and no less. Part of that is doing some things the
hard way as it affords an opportunity to learn some of the hows and
whys of things new to me. I don't have to make a living at any of it.

I think it's great that you apparently have all the resources you need
for getting the computer to help you. Unfortunately many others may
not and an attitude like yours wouldn't allow those individuals to
participate. This isn't and shouldn't be an exclusive club.

Try posting helpful info. Your views would be more respected.

Duane.
