Even then, there are going to be pockets of old stock. Wolf keeps sending our store out of date rolls of Kodak Gold 100 135-36, a very slow seller and they got stuck with about 8000 rolls. We get a brick every week! Of course, some of us are snapping it up at 1.99 aroll and freezing it! It's good for testing new acquisitions, happy snaps and such. (Never had too much trouble with out of date film when it was kept cool!) Maybe we'll see the new Superia in time to record the Apocalypse at the turn of the actuall millennium, 1 January 2001! I guess if we shoot FUJI like crazy, we can flush the pipeline out a little faster! Maybe we oughta try for 2 pictures a day... or a roll a day! Basking in the light!
