I think my point (if I had one) was a bit muddled. Didn't mean to 
compare the Athena image as being best in color. It was, but with PS one 
can make the conversion to b&w . I don't see the need for processing 
Tri-X when I can make my Fujicolor color or Tri-X. There is one element 
in all this which comes to mind. When the 1 Hour Labs all fold I'd 
better have a supply of Tri-X and D-76. :-)
