Re: 35mm slides scanner clarification questions

Today Bob Salomon commented courteously on the subject at
hand

You're qute adamant that your product is a superior
solution,

Where have I stated that it is superior?

Not much, just every damn word you've used to describe the
Braun 4000. You've not said anybody elses scanner is lousy, at
least you're bright enough to not do that, but the tone of
your comments clearly shows you are constantly in "sales
mode".

Come on, Bob. Come out of the closet and tell us some of the
not-so-nice features of a 4000, or the really bad stuff. I
don't know what, but I'm sure they're there. Then, how about
MTBF, and compare that objectively to your competition. Or,
let me guess, you don't know your own or Nikon's.

That you are reading in. I stated the features and my
experience with it and told you the name of a very
sucessful commercial operation that your dealer knows well
and can check with (Wolfes).

We are not in any position to try to compete with Nikon nor
do we try to. You seem to feel that we should. We can't.

Are you learning impaired? Whether you or your company
(HP/Braun) are true competors of a Nikon XXX, you are, by
definition, "competing" with them. You've been in "compete"
mode since you first answered my OP, although now you're in
backpeddle mode trying to salvage a hopeless situation - that
you created for yourself.

If you have further questions we will happily answer them
honestly.

I stopped asking when it became apparent that the answers are
at best incomplete, and at worst, severely biased.

But don't ask for comparisons from us because we don't do
them.

Why not? Take a look an many products web sites for a side-by-
side comparo to key comptive products? I hardly expect you to
give a ringing endorsement of Nikon, but is astounds me that
you have zero.zero knowledge of what they can do, or what they
can't.

Back to my opening remarks, please tell me what I /really/
need to know, including the warts, of a Braun 4000. If you
can't or won't, I "understand". I also won't spend my money
with Braun.
