The issue is that we film users are now a niche market and that commercial
development of our pictures will become increasingly difficulat to find
over the decades to come.  There is no problem with this:  that is just the
way it is.  We are in a minority market and a shrinking one.  Perhaps I
should set up a specialty shop to do film processing.  Hmm.  Every time a
cash register sounds, it means an angel is born, or so the tale runs.  <he
