This wouldn't be cuz there are ten times as many PC users as Mac users, would
it? And therefore ten times as many problems?
Actually, the list is populated by a lot of professional graphics
artists, and that field is still about 75% Mac.
One other explanation for the ratio may be that the pros, who mostly
know what they're doing, and have eight paid hours a day to figure it
out, are mostly on Macs, while the people having basic connectivity
problems on PCs tend to be amateurs, building their own systems at
home in their spare time.
Anyway, I am interested in this
list. How does one subscribe?
Check out <http://www.leben.com/lists>. It seems to be down at the
moment, so I can't tell you where to go from there.
The scan list is a lot like this one -- a lot of off-topic, a mixture
of people getting their first scanner and pros with rooms full of
$40,000 drum scanners, and everything in between. Also, the typical
flame fests. (The latest is on the ethics of up-sampling images, with
the "purists" insisting a scan should be a precise depiction of
reality, and the "artists" insisting an image should be judged only
by the final result.)
