Mark, the local Walgreens runs a Fuji Frontier Machine that will process a
roll of C41 as nicely as if I sent it off.  The difference is several days
and several dollars.

As far as I know there is no C41 custom processing left in my Louisiana
since Katrina, and very litle in Texas; but then that was my point  C41 is
going away, you can barely find the film, much less the processing.

I'd bet  I couldn't find more than three C41 emulsions for sale in town
today.

Mostly available?  One time use cameras.
