The last printer I had was an early HP inkjet. It was good for it's intended
work but since then the need for a printer has been outweighed by the
associated cost and hassel. Digital has been of a greater consequence to me
personally with respect to communications.

I think you're on this side of that border.

Neither was I. Everything I know was learned the hard way although some
gained knowledge was prompted from reading. There is some really good stuff
out there but it is hard to find.

Actually graphics aren't that difficult except with respect to formats. Raw
rgb is fairly simple. The real problem with graphics is where it is outputted
to.

I am not in love with it but instead with the brute raw power intrinsic in the
design. I seem to be a sucker for challenges that require access to raw power.

Yep. Probably some VMS leakage too.
Life is good,
