Coming soon to a store near you! A quick and easy way to transfer
your best, sure-enough-a-doozy-and-a-keeper digital photos to film
so they'll still be visible a few years from now. That'll be when
I just might -- "might," I said -- be willing to buy something
more than a digital snapshooter, which I already have: an Olympus
2000Z.
Meantime, I'm staying put. I've got trannies and negatives from
the '60s that look today as good as they did then, and they take
up little room and cost nothing to store.
