Aus, read with interest your treatise on the future of digital photography. But let's not forget that the installed base of PC's grows every day, and the Gen-X'ers on down have an increasingly higher computer literacy rate than older generations. This is where the mass-market opportunity will emerge - NOT with the Baby Boomers. The BB generation will IMO cling onto the film-based world. Remember too that film photography once represented an equally large technological advance over pen and ink drawings...

New topic: I recall that there have been discussions in the past on the longevity of ink-jet prints. Epson recently released a new series of printers that use archival inks and papers that supposedly have a 200-year lightfastness. As these units are aimed at professionals, it is still considered high-end, but prices will come down over time.
