Diana,

Not sure why others are not posting but in my case it is not because 
of happy printing. I am in something of a major funk regarding the 
dismal lack of organization in my system of negative storage. I have 
been going through hundreds of negatives that were not well organized 
and filed over a period of many years and trying to put them into 
some kind of category or date system. The task is quite overwhelming 
and makes me realize that even I never make another negative I 
already have so many that I would be lucky to print even 1/10 of 
them.  And after several days of doing this I still have not located 
the lost or misplaced negatives that set all of this off.

The whole experience has made me quite depressed and I am starting to 
wonder if it would not be best to simply burn all of them and start 
from scratch. Is anyone else having similar problems, or is this just 
a side effect of my bi-polar tendencies?
