Hi Frank -
I know that debating these matters with yourself leads to quicker
agreement, but you are the only Frank in this discussion... ;-)
And I must say you are quite the kidder, pretending not to know the
difference between a statement of your recent personal experience,
which is plausible and valuable, and blatantly false blanket statement
such as this one:
> In all practical ways digital has exceeded the capability of film for
> some time.
Glad we got some precision and "resolution" (yikes sorry) into the discussion...
