Actually the 2 Meter band does serve a useful function. It is used by
emergency communications all across the country, and I suspect is also used
in other countries for the same purpose. It is also used for everyday
communications quite well. It is only in the areas like the LA and San
Francisco where it has become a mess and unusable.

It's been at least a year since I've seen a film camera in a press pit.
Though, I have seen pro's with a Leica, every single one of them has had
some digicam with them as well dangling about the neck.
I think saying that "film is going to be around for a long time" is a lot
like ham radio operators saying that the two meter band still serves a
useful function.
We can want it all we want, and we can sit on the edge of the bed and pet
our Leicas but the writing's really big on the wall.
I suspect that pretty soon this will be the LOG rather than the LUG. As
long
as people are taking pictures, I don't particularly mind. It's the message,
not the medium.
Photography as we know it is changing and will continue to change and
evolve. I'm glad to be along for the ride.
