True enough. But they had no real alternative, certainly not a better one like
I have. Of course, they could've used glass plates, I suppose. Some folks
seem to think we who still prefer film are of that sort of mind-set. :-)
Some new developments I accept and grab onto immediately; others, I take a wait
and see position. That's probably why I never owned a Corvair, a leisure suit,
or a Betamax. I do, however, have a little Olympus C-2000 Z with a 32MB card,
which I got brand-spanking new at the moment they hit the stores. So, see, I'm
a hip and happenin' guy, right up to snuff with the latest technology. It's as
much as I need right at the moment, and I'm waiting on something to really blow
my socks off before I invest more, which just goes to show that I'm not a total
Luddite.
