Richard,
How interesting, new super 8 film from kodak, hmmm?
Poor kodak actually, they are victims of technology. They try and try to
move over to digital photography to maintain their cominant position in the
field but
the days of film are in the past, and they don't have a monopoly lead in the
digital market.

Maybe they now feel, if they can bring back film? Can't blame them for
trying stuff.
It's tuff when technology finds better ways to do stuff and old ways no
longer are needed.

Sort of like when pampers were invented, lol Diaper Service slowly dwindled
away.
Same for the milkman. :)
