What lab is this? That doesn't sound right to me.

Are you talking about print file pages for the negs? They make those for
slides too. Maybe I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Mounted slides are convenient because you can write on them...there's no
particular need to keep them with the roll you shot.

Oh man, you gotta learn. I got 2 rolls of slides last night and kept
about 5. I labelled them with the film type, date and place, and filed
them with slides from other rolls. Each of my slide pages probably has
slides from 5 to 10 rolls each, but it doesn't matter - they're all
labelled.
It's true, an unmounted slide does look kind of cool.
