This is an excellent point. Software development environments change faster than product purchasers change underware. It's all about hyper-competition via planned obsolescence. And that obsolescence is often out of the hands of the end-user application developer.Originally Posted by bdial
My darkroom is how I get off that high-speed merry-go-round. At least on weekends. I'm not so sure I'd want to willingly throw my enlarging system back onto that same merry-go-round.
For example, I've been considering the purchase of a new Epson V750 scanner. Not to make prints. I'd never do that. But just for it's over-sized (up to 8x10) transparency scanning capabilities for online display. I know it will work with Win7. But what if Epson declines to develop a Win8 driver?
Wouldn't want that to happen to my darkroom...

"The richness of the experience that occurs when one is exposed tangibly to a subject, material, or process is unmatchable in the abstract... Thus, when 'touch it,' 'taste it,' smell it' become the watchwords, the results are most often extraordinary. Equally extraordinary are the lengths to which people will go to avoid [that] experience."
— Tom Peters and Robert H. Waterman Jr., In Search of Excellence, 1982
