[Digital BW] Re: John Sexton's comment on B&W print

This has been fun reading - I'm glad to see that the digital vs. 
analogue wars have not died out completely!  Back in the early days
of 
digital audio - when recordings were starting to be done digitally
but 
were still put onto vinyl records - a writer for Fanfare magazine 
regularly wrote about the damage we would do to our hearing by 
listening to digital.  In fact, he went so far as to show with 
photographs that playing digitally recorded records produce micro-
cracks in turntables!  Now, 20 + years later, we can pick up an issue 
of Stereophile or The Absolute Sound and find advertisements for 
newly designed
turntables for $20,000 and cartridges for $3000, on which to play 
our $30 "audiophile" records. A lot to spend on a technology that 
most think of as dead.  If photography follows a similar evolution, 
we should see tremendous advancements in the quality of film and 
paper in the coming decade or two.  I wonder. . .  Edward  - In
