Besides...He didn't say numbers, he said sales - which I take to mean dollars. At the normal full retail price charged by most camera stores, it doesn't take many 35 exposure rolls to equal the less expensive memory cards - which are what most people buy - Hell, what's a 36 exposure roll of high speed Extachrome RETAIL for? The truth is that we now on the downhill side of the mountain dividing Filmland from Digiland...Filmland is behind us, even if there are many folks who have chosen to stay behind rather than explore the frontier. ;-) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Feli di Giorgio Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2004 6:47 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] the future happened yesterday On Wed, 2004-09-01 at 13:32, Emanuel Lowi wrote: > My trusty dealer tells me that he now sells 3x worth > of Sandisk memory cards vs. film, daily. > > Who feels like some luddisaurus trapped in a Jurassic > tar pond? > > Emanuel Lowi > Montreal Well, sure.
