Hello Michael and the group,

            You composed a well written note and do indeed make some valid
points but I must say that I do have a slightly different point of view on
digital images.

            I can probably summarize my thought on this in a few words.

            Being a person from the age of top quality LP recordings and now
listening to CD's and only when I have to, I prefer the sound of my analog
LP's over the somewhat frequency limited and cutting sound of CD's.  This
also holds true with digital imaging versus standard film imaging.

            Yes, digitized images can be made almost equal, or maybe
superior, to standard films but not with the equipment that almost anyone,
except certain professionals, is willing to pay.  This same holds true with
CD's.  The cost of playback equipment with the required sampling rate along
with the required high speed requirements of D/A converters essentially puts
this type of a product out of the reach of the multitude.

            It is unfortunate that we can be talked or forced into and
accepting inferior equipment by simple but glorified sales pitches.

            Once again Michael, your note was very well written.
