I think the computer/digital camera discussion is appropriate here because
people are using these things to photograph lace.
Indeed, this is so; the primary (if not the only) reason I got mine, was so that I could take pictures of both my own lace and of lace in museums, in close detail and knowing immediately whether a re-take was necessary. Which is why its original incompatibility with the 'puter was so frustrating... I take very few snapshots of people/places; for those, a $10 disposable camera would have been perfectly adequate. Lace-use is also *the only* reason why I got a copier/scanner.
The use of the 'puter in the cause of lace is now ubiqutous -- people design by 'puter (not me <g>), people scan lace books to discs, people send photos/patterns to editors via the 'puter, post them on their websites... To claim that a discussion of digital cameras and their needs (supporting software and hardware) belongs on chat, is plain un-realistic, to say the least; the whole techno-parade has become as much of a tool in the lacemaking process as bobbins, needles, shuttles and thread...
