Re: Wallstreet procrssor board failure AGAIN
They are dogs, but I like mine. Always in awe of the design. The first generation Wallstreet was available with a 12 passive matrix LCD with both the cacheless 233, and the 250Mhz model. The units with the 12 Passive Matrix LCD came with only 2 Meg VRAM. The 13.3 and 14.1 screen came with 4 Meg VRAM and were available with all processor speed options. Models with the 12 passive matrix screen also lacked an S-Video port. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Good, inexpensive digital camera
Film is infinitely better and cheaper than digital. I have done it both ways now, and film is so much cheaper than digital there is no comparison.Film is also infinitely superior in quality---by at least 3 orders of magnitude. As an example, scanning Fuji ASA-800 film on my 2400 * 2400 dpi HP scanner, I am not even close to seeing any grain in the film. And Fuji 800 is a much faster film than any digital camera--with regard to any specific contrast and resolution standard. A scan of a 35mm negative at 2400dpisq (a real 2400 not virtual 2400) creates a file roughly in the 40-70 meg range that would swamp any camera if it had to store it. A proper 40,000dpisq scan from say a Nikon coolscan would be Signifiacantly more troublesome. Film has dramatically higher color and contrast depth than digital pictures.A disposable camera produces much superior photos to even the most expensive electronic camera---and not merely because of pixels--but because of resolution and contrast or depth. You might think that scanning from a print would be better than scanning from a negative--after all 2400 dpi on a negative gives a total resolution of only about 3300 by 2200 for the picture, whereas the print gives a much higher resolution scan. But it turns out that the negative has greater depth. And so I have found negative scans to be far superior than print scans---even though I don't have a Nikon Coolscan. ( I have an HP 5490c scanner---don't get it--get one compatible with Vuescan software---HP is notorious for not supporting their hardware with drivers and I am afraid that this scanner is no exception--the odds of ever seeing an OSX version of the driver are getting slimmer and slimmer and apparently the scanner's USB port runs from a parallel to USB converter inside. So the scans are great--but in system 9 only) For years, film has evolved to en extremely efficient medium. Everyone knows (or should know) that there is a difference between Kodachrome and Ectachrome--not to mention KodaColor and Fuji and Agfa and so forth. Kodachrome and Ectachrome both give accurate colors, but those colors feel different and have a different mood. As another example, print film (eg Kodacolor) has a much wider exposure range (plus or minus 4 stops) compared to chrome (viz slide) film. And chrome is an order of magnitude superior to digital. For all practical purposes, electronic photos are useless, except for use online--where you expect bad quaility and don't have the bandwidth to show good quality, or for snapshots where you neither enlarge nor crop. And if you don't do these things:Why go digital anyway?? Furthermore, when it comes to taking pictures, the electronic camera requires a huge supply of rechargeable batteries and there is always a delay when shooting--so you cannot use electronic cameras to take any action shots. I have tried a couple of cameras and they all want to do stuff before you shoot--instead of letting you shoot. Printing photos off the computer and onto a printer is so difficult and requires so much time, I think I could probably do it faster in a basement darkroom. I have spent hours on a single photo. I just don't have that kind time for any but the special photos. And I do take that time for special photos. I do spend a lot of time on special photos--but now I start out with film--and then crop. You can't crop electronic photo's because by the time you are finished cropping there is no picture information left for the enlargement. Finally, be aware that ink jet ink fades within 4 years--even if the picture is covered in a book. Epson claims to have archival quality inks--but I haven't seen any quality reviews of these. (even color photo prints fade to black and white over time---but ink jet prints have no underlying black white). (I use a color laserwriter--but I have no idea how many years these prints will last. My 35 mm Nikon FA batteries last 7-8 years-and it will still operate at -20 below with no batteries at all. Even with seven or eight sets of batteries, I cannot take electronic photos in the field over the course of a day. For example, no one can take electronic photos of a soccer game because of the bad lenses, the low resolution--AND because of the batteries. I have seen some great big batteries--but I have not seen any that could stay on-full for 3 hours--even though some video cams do. With a film camera, you can tell from the mood of the picture what lens you have used or what film you have used. I have only played around with a few digital cameras but my impression is that although lenses are very critical for 35mm film--Nikor, Canon, Zeiss lenses offer a superior quality that could be visible to a soccer mom-- I am not sure how much good a better lens will do for digital photos because I am not sure the recording medium is there yet.

Re: Good, inexpensive digital camera
These are not inexpensive digital cameras that we are talking about now! An inexpensive 35mm film camera (less that $100) will outshoot any inexpensive digital camera (less than $300) out there when it comes to photographic sharpness. Having used the D1X (5.33 Megapixel) and an EOS-1D (4.06 Megapixel), I can say that they are both great digital cameras, but with digital limitations as well as digital advantages. Their limitations are the pixels that the camera is able to record on its CCD and most important to me, the lag time involved between the highest quality images. They are great for giving instant feedback on your photograph and they do a respectable job of delivering a quality product on a professional level. With that said, both my Hasselblad 501 and my Pentax 67 will shoot rings around both of those cameras when it comes to photographic sharpness and the ability to do enlargements.

Re: Good, inexpensive digital camera
I find film to be one of the largest nuisances of the 20th and 21st centuries. It's a pain to use film and film companies have nothing but themselves to blame for not making developing easier. They should have contrived some contraption to take your film (easy-load, which finally has made an appearance), stick it in, and inexpensively shoot out pictures. And wire the pictures to your computer for digital storage on a CD. If that was available, I'd stick with film. I do love film, much richer colors and depth, but it is too expensive, in the long run, and just one huge hassle. In this case, I will take convenience and price over quality and hassle. Unfortunately. However I lament. P- -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Difficulty in setting up intranet
I'm trying to get my iMac (rev. D) and my iBook (Indigo) to make a small TCP/IP intranet. I've configured each of them to do TCP/IP via ethernet, given them IPs and set the subnets. The iBook (OS 9.1) does okay, but the iMac (OS 8.6) won't cooperate. System Profiler shows that TCP/IP is active on both computers, but only the iBook shows an IP address and netmask. I'd be grateful for advice on this, Doug -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

If Manual, what IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Router address? How can tell that the iBook does OK?

OT topic of film vs. digital
Recognizing that this is not a suitable topic for this list, I still must comment on the view expressed earlier (I'm on Digest) concerning film being preferable to digital for photography today. I have been a working photojournalist for over 30 years and since the advent of the Nikon D1x I think digital quality has surpassed film. The images are better, the prints are better and the ease of use is better in a million ways. I still shoot both ways out there in the real world, but I cringe and moan when the client insists on film. The suggestion that digital cameras are only worthwhile for online use is so absurd. What cameras do you think are being used for the photos you see in TIME, NEWSWEEK countless other publications? Digital images were placed on the sides of tall buildings (the kind Superman used to leap) at the Salt Lake Olympics. Oh, and Canon cameras are good too. -- Thomas S.

Re: Good, inexpensive digital camera
Hang on to that shoe box of prints and negatives, since they will still be usable when the digital prints are long gone. My film camera shoots 5 frames per second, but its biggest plus compared to digital is that it turns on instantly for photo's that show up unexpectedly, unlike all digital cameras.

Re: Good, inexpensive digital camera/Lag time
Most digital cameras have a continuous shoot mode which allows you to shoot a number of shots fairly quickly (until your buffer runs out) and then they usually take around 7 to 10 seconds to recover and be able to do this again. The smaller the file size the more shots that can be taken in rapid succession, while the larger the size the less shots that can be taken. In single shot mode, all digital cameras have some lag time between shots and they all take from 5 to 8 seconds to start up after being turned off. Tom Do you have one that doesn't have any lag after shooting? Aron -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Good, inexpensive digital camera
Sony offers the DSC-S75, a 4 MP camera with a black body. It's pretty slick. Almost got one myself, but opted for the Canon s110 Elf. I love how small the camera is, and take it with me everywhere. All of Sony's camera are great. The biggest advantages of the designs come from their experiences with the digital camcorder line. Most higher end Sony cameras now have Ziess lens. I would also highly recommend any Sony. The best thing I love about digital cameras is the ability to share images. My wedding photo was shot digitally and was shared among all our guests instantly across the country over the net. Then we mailed each guest a CD of the full 500+ images of our wedding for 33 cents per disk. That is not possible with regular film. Vic In a message dated 4/19/02 8:16:02 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Speaking of expensive (:--)), has anyone tried, or seen (in person) the new Sony DSC-F707? It received some good reviews (speed-wise) on the dpreview.com site. I purchased a Sony DSC-S70 about a year ago, a 3.34MP camera with a Zeiss lens. I use it professionally in my marketing/advertising business, and have been VASTLY satisfied with both the quality of the photos and the versatility of the camera itself. I recently photographed about 300 pieces of Middle Eastern antiquities using the macro mode and was amazed at the clarity of the images using only natural light in the room... extreme detail, very sharp. Yes, there IS a lag, esp. depending on the resolution of the image/size of the file being stored; but I no longer have drawers of photos/negatives I have to go through... I have the images all stored on disk, ready to use without scanning. I'd recommend my Sony camera without hesitation, but I don't think they're making that particular model any longer... perhaps the new models have the Zeiss lens?
