Presumably they expect it to drop away towards the end date of 2010. Now as for your archival stack of framed slides that you've stored carefully Jim, very likely people will still be able to hold them up to the light but good luck finding a slide projector or dedicated film scanner by the middle of the 21st century too ;-) ;-) You need a plan to preserve your images and keep updating the media. Prints, CDs DVD BluRay HDD etc etc etc ???? Something we all battle with no doubt. Still I'm sure that your stuff will have formed part of some uber cool permanent exhibit on the quirks of the late last millenium and first century of this one somewhere. You may even pass into language.
