I'm a photojournalist covering the Republican National Convention in San
Diego, and I'm happy to report that, for the photographers, there is 
nary
a 'Doze machine in sight. In the Associated Press work space most of the
AP member photographers are using Powerbook 500 series with Nikon
Supercoolscans, there are a few digital cameras and some 180c's and even
some 165c's. Haven't seen any 5300's yet.

For their part, AP staff photographers are using all digital cameras. 
The
PC cards are being downloaded straight into PowerPC boxes. AP has 
digital
cameras covering the podium giving live feeds to a Mac under the camera
platform in the middle of the convention center and going straight out 
to
member papers from there.

United Press International is using film. The photoshop work is being
done on PowerMac 7500's and sent to Washington where they are 
transmitted
to UPI subscribers.

A few of us are even Newtons for caption notes!

Alan, 

This is the Republican Convention. It's the Nixon Supercoolscan, not the Nikon 
Superscoolspan!

What is a Nikon Supercoolscan? I want one just for the name. " Yeah I got
