[filmscanners] RE: Digital Darkroom Computer Builders?

["Austin Franklin" <darkroom@ix.netcom.com>]

Laurie,

That wasn't the intention at all!  I was simply stating that there are some
programs that simply don't run on a Mac, and secondly, stating that I don't
believe there is really any advantage to the graphics of a Mac than that of
a PC...  If the Mac does have some advanced and significant graphics
capabilities that the PC doesn't have at this point in time, I'd certainly
like to know.

Austin
