Digital BW, The Print

Tom,

I don't understand.  My Monaco Profiler software requires a USB dongle, my
Trident software for my Howtek scanner requires a USB dongle, my Wasatch
SoftRIP requires a parallel dongle, and my Cone PiezoPro RIP requires a
dongle.  These are all state of the art programs and I don't understand the
analogy to Lotus 1-2-3.  I find it hard to imagine that me and only nine
other people are using software that requires a dongle.

In fact, I just upgraded my PiezoPro RIP to the 9000 version, and have been
making 30"x40" and 40"x50" prints for the last week.  If my dongle required
me to stand on my head and whistle Dixie, I'd do it - the prints are that
good.

What's the issue with having to deal with a dongle?  What don't I know?

  Wow... I can't imagine more than 10 people buying software that
  requires a dingle... This is like going back to the earliest versions
  of Lotus 1-2-3. Equally hard to see a parallel port version of
  anything selling well.

  I guess Jon Cone has just licensed a version of Image Print...I only
  hope he didn't put a lot of development time and/or money into it
  because this sounds like a loser...and I think that even if the
  quality is significantly better.
