As one of those audio techs that builds his own tube gear and knows that it 
sounds wonderful, I have to say that I do it because it is fun and I like 
it. Isn't that the whole point, really? (of any endeavour??)

Wet darkrooms will be around for some time to come. Will digital get bigger 
and better? Yes! And I am looking so very foward to those advances. When 
digital is the equal of wet process, I will probably change to it for color. 
But I doubt that B+W, (for me, at least) will ever be something that can be 
done properly on a computer. But again, I really enjoy the Darkroom.

Just my .02$ As I sit here trying to print something using the glow from a 
vacuum tube as a safelight...
