Hi folks, Thanks for the info. Couple comments. 1) I mailed 1 roll Kodak 10/28 got back 11/9. Mailed 3 rolls Fuji 11/4 and 1 11/6, got 1 back 11/14, 2 11/15, 1 11/16, so for the moment Fuji appears better. I guess I'm out of date, but I like the factory quality and around here, the local shops want upwards of $10 a roll for slides, I can buy mailers in bulk for around $4 each. Plus I'm 40 feet from mailbox, about 5 miles from film drop off. I know digital is way of future. What kept slides going is the magazine industry, and as soon as they go digital, E6 film will be about as hard to buy and as expensive, or even more expensive than b&w slide film. I think the digital projectors will come down in price, maybe never as cheap as the Kodak carousels. Never used one, but having seen them in action, I think they might be better than carousels since they are basicly a bulb in a box with some cable connections, don't think there is a single moving part, maybe not even a fan. While slides may be good for 40-50 years, I have more faith in them than digital. I don't know how long CDROM lasts, but I am worried about once collection is on CD Rom about being able to acess it in 50 years. Remember 8 track? SonyBeta? Now I hear Columbia House has stopped selling music cassettes and that Walmart expects to quit selling VHS by 2005 or so at latest. Sure DVD looks "permanent" but whats next? Frank
