All comparative. You are looking at at least £1000 of equipment in the UK, assuming that you have decent accessories such as monitors. It's a sum that just doesn't add up to a saving unless you are working at high volumes or can write some of the cost off as a business. Plus, we haven't even started on the extra time our hobby now takes. How quickly did you get cheesed off with scanning negatives? That's about the time the "average person" will take to get thoroughly sick of the "fiddling" (a description I have heard myself) required by digital. Fine if you are getting paid for it but a non-starter for unfanatics. > On Nov 12, 2006, at 5:19 PM, Shel Belinkoff wrote: > > > Right now I've only got about 300gb of useable hard drive space. > > Of that, > > the O/S, the Page File, and some programs take a bite.
