>As for digital sound, I prefer analog.< Rock, I hear you. But the fact of the matter is that we are a fringe element with regards to audio. I've got wonderful little pieces of equipment like my DBX unit for cranking up the signal/noise ratio for my old analog equipment. It was a sad day indeed when I decided I couldn't salvage my venerable Sony reel to reel. I have to go to boutique audio shops or professional shops to find the kind of equipment I grew up with and understood every nuance of the different amp circuitry. The masses go to WalMart or SoundTrack or Best Buy where no one can explain why they should pay 10 times the price for the stuff you and I would like to buy. So it will be with cameras. It even pains me when I use a Vivtar lens instead of one of my NIkons. But you know what. I take most my pictures with a little auto focus Fuji. Snap shots are different than "photography". You are right that Clik disks won't sell at the same rate as film. But lots of Clik disks will sit in shoeboxes just like finished prints do now. The guys that will make out like bandits on "consumables" will be selling "photo paper" and cartridges for ink jet printers.
