Now anyone, even a monkey, can buy a digital camera and produce images better than were ever possible with film. OK, I don't agree either, it just requires you to redefine what you mean by "better" but that's another thing :o) BTW: this is meant seriously, I'm becoming more and more aghast at images I'm shown as "great" - even in company advertising brochures - which most here would consign to the bin. The people praising them really do seem to believe they are great. There must be something deeply human ... Bob
