[PRCo] Re: Subject: Film Discontinuance

[John F Bromley]

So now we'll have to buy one of those $1500 projectors that  load from the
hard disk.

I've already discontinued taking slides.  In the next few months my CanonA2
and its various lenses are going to be traded in for Nikon digital that
accepts interchangeable lenses.  Our current Nikon 5400 digital (which you
saw last March) does an excellent job for a 5 megapixel camera but that's
Margaret's camera and the male of the species has to have a bigger (and
better) one - it says so in the manual.
