In fact why don't all you guys who "know" film is dead send my your useless stocks of film. I will take your useless 35mm, 120, and 4x5 film and make pictures with it.
Slide projection has been dying for years. Many slide shows in the past 20 years have been put on video tape and shown on a TV screen.

digital along with everyone else, but some parts of that transition may be going to quickly. Was Kodak losing money on slide projectors? It seems to me that there will be demand for them for some time, if only for luddites like me who want our images actually to look good on a screen. Why buy quality gear, quality film, and work on becoming a good photographer only to have low quality projection equipment?

Losing money? In the long haul, probably yes. As much as it may be distressing to some, these companies are in business to turn a profit. No profit, no money for future R&D, no R&D, no future products. With tens of thousands of rolls of film going out of date daily, film camera sales declining, and the digital handwriting on the wall becoming more legible everyday, why should manufacturers continue to hold on to old technology that's not making money for them.
