Yeah, now *there's* a valid comparison between technologies: petroleum-based
vs. other types of (personal?) transportation compared to digital vs. wet
photography.  Of course, we all know that alternatives to petroleum-based
transportation are as strong and viable as digital is to film.  Do you think
that the reason both you and I are writing about the alternative to
petroleum-based transportation in the indefinate might be a subtle hint?
