Walt -  I had the same experience with Kodak after they switched to 
QualChrome or whatever it was called.  I came back from a trip to Bolivia 
and over 30% of the Kodachrome film was ruined with purple blotches, 
misplaced cuts, and total screw ups.  I also got replacement film and a 
letter.  I quit using Kodachrome after that.  Digital is the answer and you 
don't have to wait until you get home.  I'm away from home now and I have a 
small separate hard drive to burn all of my photos to or I could burn them 
on a CD right here.  I never erase a memory card until I have it stored in 
at least two places.  The M8 is fine, when you learn to use it, and that's 
all I have with me on this trip :-)
