Boy, you guys are prolific.   I think I've processed two rolls of 120 since 
January, and have partially exposed B&W film in three cameras with pictures 
going back to at least April.

When I do get in the darkroom, I'm glad I learned to develop by inspection.  
The last roll of B&W I processed was 
<http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/TwoMen_AMR_7339.jpg.html>,
 and it turned out that my FG-7 developer was dead from age.  When I looked 
at the film after seven minutes, under the green safelight, there was barely 
an image.  Luckily, I had some good ole Rodinal in the cabinet, so I just 
mixed up a batch at 1:50 and finished with that solution.
