Re: A DX-10 question
Partly good advice.
The market will never stop moving. It is much like a moving train and we
need to jump on when we feel the need.
I have the X1900XT and it is GREAT!
I will probably upgrade when there is an upgrade to go to in another 6
months or so.
DX10 should be firmly entrenched by then...a year at the most.
