<< I got one of those advertisements as well. Did you notice that the free
rolls were
only 20 exposures? As to the CD and color printers, I haven't seen a printer
yet
that comes close to the quality of a picture, and the quality of storage
over time
is unknown. They also didn't mention the resolution they use to scan the
pictures.
To my way of thinking it is still too new a technology to rely on. I would
at
least opt for both prints and CDs. >>
John,
You always get prints and the CD. I must admit that the color on my
bubble jet is not exact but it ain't bad.
The next step is using a camcorder and a gizmo called "SNAPPY". You
take the tape of your iris, connect it to your computer via the snappy and
then suck the picture into your computer and go to town. The "SNAPPY" is
about $200.00 and will probably be a purchase in the near future. We have
one at work and I am hoping to borrow it and play with it before I sink the
bucks into it. If anybody has used one of these I would love to hear. I
think the person who could probably help the most with getting your pictures
onto the computer would probably be Scott Aitken. Judging by what they are
doing with the Bulletin he should be in the know.
