I actually like Tri-X as a film.  However, I don't trust Kodak to keep
making it while I do trust Ilford to be in business for a while
longer.  Likewise, I think Fuji will keep pumping out Neopan for a
while.

I think that it would be better if the remaining film sales were
concentrated with companies that might keep making products that we
like.
