So much for absolutes. In my kitchen I have a microwave and a gas range. My high-tech microwave is like a DSLR. I use it a lot because I'm so busy with other things. But it's not my favorite way to cook.

I'm not 100% for or against. I react more to those who wax over digital than to those who defend film. Tina mentions sending images over the internet. I like doing that. Nathan and others note that people have kept the photos from the past, but not the negatives. Others note they have the photos and negatives from the past. Someone else noted enjoying getting the instant feedback on the photo taken. That's true, but there is also a lot of enjoyment when you develop your film and see how it all came out. The key word is enjoyment. Then again, since I use fast film at slow speeds, I don't enjoy taking the film through airports and x-ray machines. Maybe I'll take my digital camera with me the next time I go to Europe, but then I do a lot of panoramic work and where do I find a digital, panoramic camera? Doug
