Subject: [Leica] Who Still Has a Darkroom?

Still got all the gear for my darkroom and I even have a room waiting but i
doubt I will ever get to use it for the folloving reasons
1) Can't stand the smell of the chemestry
2) I never was any good in a darkroom
3) I have worked with photoshop for ten years, and can do all the things I
never could in a darkroom
4) I am not tempted to do all the silly things photoshop also provide - it
is strictly for retouching, contrast, sharpening and dodging/burning

What would make me go back would be a photo-optical divice/printer that
would take you finished photoshop-file and put i on beatiful fibrebased, all
silver beautifull traditional paper
