And people don't understand that Kodak has made some terrible blunders and
this is one of them. And there is hope they might make up for it, but I'm
dubious because of their past performance to not know when they had it
good. To claim that Kodachrome is dead at this point is similar to people
saying digital has killed film. The fat lady hasn't sung, yet.

As it is, we do have wonderful E6 films to play with, and when I choose a
chrome film for a freelance job, it's box is green sometimes. But blue is
making a comeback. I hope some day red will too.
