Exactly!!! People moan every time some film that nobody was buying is 
discontinued, as if Kodak, Fuji etc. were some kind of masochistic 
companies, yanking popular products off the shelves. Kodak canned E6 because 
too few people were buying it to make it profitable, and the same thing will 
happen with Fuji's slide films. As for B&W, it is a different story. I have 
just come  back from the UK with 10 packs of ID11 powder (each to make 1 
liter) and some fixer, bought from Silverprint in London. That segment seems 
to be doing fine.

Cheers,
Nathan
