Well, when the price of thin, flat-screen monitors gets cheap enough, I

price/quality of ink cartridges, or the cost of printers.....

Bill Gates did that. Someone posted an article about it in one of these
groups recently & how it's really not as good as a print though that was
in reference to paintings.

Yes....The resolution of the monitors today, and their cost, makes the idea
too soon for it's time. But I can see the day in the near future when
printers become obsolete. Even though their resolution is not as good as
printed pictures, their brightness kind of makes up for it, even today....I
would rather view my slides by scanning them into my computer and putting
them on my display right now, than I would by printing them, and/or
projecting them onto my beaded screen......It's true that my vision is
getting poorer, so perhaps everyone wouldn't agree with me, but it is
certainly true in my case........I think that if I could make 8 x 10
transparencies out of them and display them on a hanging lightbox, that
would be just as satisfactory, but that would be hard for me to do, so the
computer screen is a satisfactory alternative......
