Of course not - I was making a general comment about the 'quality' of some
of the pieces that pass for reviews - particularly (unfortunately) some of
the print magazines.
It's not about you...

Well in that case I do look forward to seeing it (in English I'm afraid).
Mind you, 50 pages of 'dense information' is not going to be a hit with most
designers and photographers I know... Hope there are lots of pictures ;-)

Why do I keep think of being transferred back to the late 90's when I hear
this sort of stuff? Like most people using Macs happily at 2.2 for years,
this seems a bit of a non argument. Just what is this 'total visual
experience' you talk about?
If I put back my Mac to 1.8, not only does it feel more like I'm using
System 7 again, it just looks wrong (to me). I'm certainly not intending to
go back to matching my gamma to the LaserWriter or any of the other
(apocryphal?) reasons for picking 1.8
Bye for now
