Was it a small green device with a small screen and your print size options
were 4x6 or 6x8? If so it was a Fuji Print Pix, sort of a small format
cousin of the Aladdin. I don't know what the max file size is on that but
where 6x8 is the largest it can go I wouldn't expect it to be too

computer aspect of digital, then I could see film going the way of the

Well actually the labs have already dealt with this to a point. You can
simply take in your CF Memory card to the lab and they will download and
