Would that it weren't so. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of MCyclWritr@aol.com Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2004 2:00 PM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: Re: [Leica] Is there even a future in high end digital? Dan C. writes, >>So I am wondering what photographers will require 20 years from now, >>when there will be very little printed magazines etc.<< Actually, the number of magazines in publication is growing, despite our online world. I forget where I read that, but the point was that people like the feel of a magazine in hand. The convenience of being able to flip to a page or article easily. The ability to flop back on a rainy Sunday afternoon, read or peruse a bit while waiting for the couch monster kidnap the reader to snoozeland. Of course, one can do that with a laptop, but a magazine performs the inevitable off-belly dismount more quietly and with less expensive consequences. I'm thinkin' photographers will require whatever magazines demand. Chris Lawson _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
