Digital -> Print, nobody's doing it!

According to this post on PhotographyBLOG the number of users printing photographs is decreasing. That’s a shame as many people aren’t comfortable with viewing photos on a computer.
I’m expecting my photos from spectra and mypixmania today or tomorrow. Both sites vary widely in their user-friendlyness.
On the Spectra Photo website you’re not allowed delete the photos you’ve uploaded. There’s a 30MB limit, therefore you’re limited in the number of photos you can print at one time (and considering there’s a €1.80 P&P charge that’s a major percentage of the overall printing cost)
If you want more space you have to pay for it, but if you order prints they’ll give you another 30MB, how kind eh?
Mypixmania is much more useful, and has loads of features and is generally more friendly. Prices are low, even if quoted in British Pounds. (No, I’m not going to order from the French/German/other site!)
I have yet to try photobox.ie as John suggested previously.

Two on Michael Moore.

Whores

And I just think a disservice was done to the American people. You know–you know what’s great about this country? You and everyone else here gets to ask any question you want. Literally, you can ask any question you want. No one can stop you. You…

Unfairenheit 9/11 – The lies of Michael Moore. By Christopher Hitchens

To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability.
Osama is suddenly so guilty and so all-powerful that any other discussion of any other topic is a dangerous “distraction” from the fight against him. I believe that I understand the convenience of this late conversion.

Who do you believe? I don’t know.

Later… Michael Moore responds. Excellent! Thanks Kevin for the link.
