<< In fast-moving technology, you can get some great bargains if you are
willing to have the "State Of The Art Minus One" level of technology. This
goes for printers and computers as well as cameras. A 150MHz Pentium or
100MHz PowerMac is adequate for most photo manipulation, and the
StylusColor that cost $400 last year can be had for under $200 now.
Since today's new Olympus 2000 will go for half-price next year, why not
buy yesterday's "State Of The Art" at half price today? "Gotta have the
latest and greatest" is an expensive disease! :-)
This has generally been my philosophy as well in most electronics (just
recently upgraded my teen's computer to a PII 400 this past spring when the
prices fell ( blood, guts and gore needs fast speeds and 3D) but I'm happy
for my photo and other needs with my P200mmx....
Have any of you played with these "refurbs" provided from Damark or the
aforerecommended "pricewatch.com"??? Have you found the logevitiy factor to
be the same with them??
