Actually, I think the long term answer lies in the presentation device, computer, cellphone, television, etc., having the capability of arbitrarily magnifying, reducing, and navigating the image. This has already happened somewhat with Mac OS X (at least as it currently runs on my MacBook Pro) in that I can arbitrarily magnify an image and yet navigate to those parts of the image that might, as a result of the magnification, be off screen. My expectation is that this separation of display from hardware specifics will be better in Leopard. We'll see. -- James Leo Ryan ..... Austin, Texas ..... taliesinsoft@mac.com
