[PRCo] Film Discontinuance

[Bob Rathke]

Last month I bought a spare lamp for my Carousel projector - cost was $9.99.

The professional photographers I commission for company projects are heavily
into digital equipment, but they all take 35mm slides and 2-1/4"
transparencies as backup unless we order otherwise.  I've talked to them
about the impending disappearance of transparency film, but they believe it
will be around for a while, but more difficult to find at consumer photo
stores.

By the way, the largest users of slide projectors today are in the medical
profession.  Doctors still bring trays of slides to show at medical
conferences.
