William, Sorry to trim your excellent post, but I only wanted to add a followup to this. Isn't it ironic that Lucas is working on completely digitalizing the film business, at least on the distribution end? I'm not even talking about all the production aspects which have already gone digital. As far as I know the theater moguls would dearly LOVE to get out of the business of distributing prints from one theater to the next. I'm trying to keep an open mind on all this. I love film. I really do. But if I had to bet I would bet that my film habit will get more expensive in years to come as film photography becomes a part of an industry dominated by digital imaging. Byron.
