However, aside from the historical context, that's pretty much what "luddite" means -- someone who oppposes technical change. And from the laments I've seen over the passing of film, the feelings of many go well beyond "choice." Many film shooters obviously wish that digital had never happened. By definititon, they're "luddites." Not bad people, just luddites. <vbg> Paul > On 5/16/05, P. J.
