And that would suggest that there will be shoeboxes full of prints. Granted, there won't be negatives. But the reality is that the vast majority of people never took care of their negatives anyway. I don't know that the future will be that different than the past. On 1/12/06 11:33 AM, "dnygr" <dnygr@cshore.com> wrote: > All camera makers must be affected by the switch to digital.
