Subject: It's the film cameras that are dead
Apple's competition wasn't IBM. It was Microsoft.
Mistaken perspective hurt Apple. Big time.
A new estimation of the situation:
Film will be around for a long time. But the value of the film camera is
disappearing.
Locally, the two big retailers aren't picking up any volume of film
cameras for students.
There are enough of them out there. They still sell the paper &
chemistry.
But even schools are now looking toward the digital revolution.
Now is the time to dump film cameras, or to buy up extras for the future.
How do you think that film will be around if everyine is shooting digital,
and no one is shooting film?
In ten years, the only place you will see film in public is behind glass at
the Smithsonian and george Eastman House.
