There is nothing noble about how the data is recorded, only how people
remember it.

You're looking at it wrong, that's a thousand dollars or hard to find
spare parts. Just from experience, however, the one needed for a

Yes, actually film is dead.
Same goes for oil-painted portraits.
Same goes for hand-made automobiles.
Of course one may still purchase a custom oil portrait.
And there are some small boutique auto companies who make them by hand.
This death is a matter of market presence, not existence.

as much film as I'd like to, but then, I don't shoot as many pixels as I'd like

have a hard time dealing with digital cameras. Though it seems to me they would
also have a hard time dealing with film too.
Somehow, I never considered 3 world to mean primitives. Something tells me that
