Yeah, not quite sure what the current, real quality of digital is, (short of a $3,000.00 digital camera, etc.), but it looks like the "old" print system is definitely on the way out. I used to develop my own film and prints a few years back. I still have a 35mm SLR and love it.

But, I have another film OT question; what's the best way to separate print-film pictures that are stuck together? Paul Hillman

Guys, This article is taken from USA Today. You might want to take a look: http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/technology/2005-08-25-kodak-cuts_x.htm<;http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/technology/2005-08-25-kodak-cuts_x.htm>; The freight car connection should be obvious. If things keep going the way they are, there might not *be* a Bob's Photo in a few years. Or John C. LaRue, or Jay Williams. etc. Not to be Chicken Little (hey, there's an idea for a movie), but it looks like we better start buying photographs like crazy or we find someone who still makes printing paper (and chemicals) and work out a deal. At some point we'll be forced to accept digitally printed photos. I already have some, and I'm just not impressed.Unless the quality of digital printing improves drastically (and who knows, maybe it will), I think we're in for a dry spell as far as this facet of our hobby goes. This is not meant to stir a debate (which will get Mike upset), but I think people here should be aware of what's coming. Not a pretty picture - no pun intended. Shawn Beckert Yahoo! Groups Links
