Emoticons have come into usage as a mechanism to express subtleties when otherwise using text based internet e-mail. This particular emoticon can be better understood if you turn your head 90 degrees with respect to the screen while looking at it. Many people have noticed that this appears to be a "smiley face". The reason that I added it to the end of the sentence which starts "I've never tried to process it..." was to indicate that since it must be processed at an outside, usually mail order lab, the fact that it is difficult to process is of no consequence to me, as the lab I use does a fine job. As you note, there are other labs which also do a fine job of processing Kodachrome. Most people who do photograph frequently, and who have had needed to quickly process film do know that E-6 labs are more numerous and hence use an E-6 film for such occasions. All the best, Jonathan Borden
