Luminous Landscape famously stated way back in 2001, "Prints that I can make from [Canon] D30 images are better than the prints that I can make from 35mm film. Period." <http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/d30/d30_vs_film.shtml> Apology in order? ;) We're now well past the point where better compact digital cameras surpass the D30, making bashing of image quality by dSLR fans absurd. -- John "Assumption is the mother of all screw ups."

It has been my general observation that if a printer works with MAC it will most likely work with Linux - I've yet to see an exception. >> Yeah - I guess if all you want is access to 90% of the market instead >> of 100%, that is your business.

His numbers (which I don't necessarily believe anyway) show Linux and MAC with 113 million vs MS at 1.087 billion. So, MAC plus Linux (those NOT able to use a winprinter) would seem to come to 10.395584% - I guess I was fairly close.
