Bill, What you wrote certainly makes a lot of sense. But I still think that it's gonna take some time for the digital revolution to take hold. With technology advancing so fast these days, it could happen very soon. But habits and fashion die hard and so the old photographic techniques etc. and silver will still be around for some time yet.

Bill Kodak has already adapted and is becoming one of the leading manufacturers of digital cameras. I am in the real estate business and I have found that the use of digitals in our industry is growing at a very rapid rate. Hospitals are now experimenting with digital X-Ray equipment. It is environmentally friendly, cost effective, reduces storage costs etc. A small Canadian company Imaging Dynamics (V.ID) now has equipment on trial in several Canadian hospitals. When Alvin Toffler wrote "Future Shock" many disputed his theory that change is not just constant but that the rate of change is accelerating to a point that many will not be able to adjust. I think this is already happening. In many instances decisions are being made based on a belief that change will not soon occur in an industry, however in reality , it already has. Cal
