It's not that computers are too far off LUG interest, it is the fact that
is always revolves around PC users vs MAC users. And which is best. Nothing
is ever accomplished. Just arguments and innuendo. PC users use PC's. MAC
users use MAC's. Arguments on the LUG will not change this.

We don't argue about enlargers. We discuss enlargers and enlarger lenses,
neg holders, autofocus, etc., in a rational manner.
