'Digital' has been good for me, even though I've only ever looked at it 
warily and from a safe distance.  It seems that people in general are 
forgetting what good photos look like, as, for a few years now they've 
been getting 'digital' prints from school and sports event 
photographers.  I come along with my old fashioned Leicas and good film 
like Reala and I keep hearing, "These are so much better than last 
year's photos".  I can handle that.  I guess what I'm doing still falls 
neatly within the bounds of what film is good for.

Are any industry experts forecasting the sunset of professional 
standard D&P services?  My preferred lab has already dumped Cibachrome 
in favour of scanning and printing at 250 lines per inch.

Regards,  Rick Dykstra. Australia.
