In a previous life as a film processor for a major lab, I can remember the horror of ruining film. I only did it twice on a large scale, or I should say the machine did it. Once, I pulled a container out of the machine that hadn't screwed the lid on (to keep it light tight) and 100 rolls of Christmas memories were fogged. Cost the company $1,000. But every once in a while, machines screw up and eat someone's film. It's a fact of life with bottom-line thinking and minimal maintenance. ========================== Eric Welch Grants Pass Daily Courier
