You Epson guys are like a bunch of nuclear physicists compared to guys
putting together cheap plastic models with too much airplane glue in their
basements when compared to just about any other photo list of any kind I¹ve
ever been on. Including the Leica users group.
I thought I was pretty smart but reading this list reminds me of the first
time I ever picked up a popular photography in 1965 when I  was 13 and read
thought the columns by the columnists understanding about 1 percent of what
was being written.
After about ten years I understood 99 percent of it I think.
Hope it doest take 10 years with this inkjet stuff.

But this Mac = Epson think I¹m in agreement with.

I didn't know HP was even in the running.
I thought it was Epson only or maybe Canon if you were a wedding
photographer.

It¹s like I thing I once heard:
³what¹s wrong with my car?²
³it¹s a Ford!²

Of course a Ford might get you to your destination I have no idea. And a pc
will number crunch or whatever.
My HP ³Laser² jet makes great documents. Just as long as the pdf¹s are not
too big. I¹ve got to figure out how to stick some more memory into it.
