but what if you don't want 'better than film'? what if plain ol' film is
good enough?

so many of our technology-based threads (af/ae/hexar/etc) presuppose that
everybody wants the latest and greatest. that may not always be the case
(and it is *not* the case with me, be it auto-anything/everything and/or
pixelated pix). i'm not against the technological march of time, i just
don't want it imposed on me; i'll choose it myself when i want/need it.

or to paraphrase james brown:

don't want nobody
givin me nothin
just open the door
and i'll get it myself

ho!
