I'm not surprised.  As I'm sure most of you are aware - the children of 
the "digital generation," the daughters and sons of those old folks that 
embraced digital everything - you know, the oldtimers who thought that 
their wizbang computer cameras would save them from doing math have said 
- fuck off (the children that is).  Last time I was in Berkeley, 2010 
April, I saw more folks shooting film than digital (I don't count 
phones).  One of the hottest classes on many campuses nowadays is wet 
darkroom.  In other words they are telling all you digital geeks to 
"fuck off" (pardon my French)  - the same words I uttered about a decade 
back.

Have a nice day!  Don't forget to fix your film :) and I do hope Epson 
develops a printer to bail you out.  Guess the folks in marketing are 
reading the tea leaves.
