I've scanned almost 2000 Kodachrome slides over the last few 
days.  It's wonderful stuff.  Still as vibrant and beautiful as it 
ever was.  I won't miss the hassles of getting it developed, worrying 
about film getting lost to and from the developer, batches getting 
ruined by QualChrome (or whatever company it was that took over and 
ruined everything).  Everything we do these days seems so fleeting - 
here today and gone tomorrow.  Kodachrome was forever.
