However, film has not disappeared. Most of us non-digital users just prefer film. Very few of us think digital should disappear. It is you pro-digital idjeets who think film should go away. Of course if I had just spent $20,000 to seriously go digital, I would probably have to defend that action to the death also. Besides this Luddite had a Coolpix 100, think about that, you digital-newby!
GRIN!

However, aside from the historical context, that's pretty much what "luddite" means -- someone who oppposes technical change. And from the laments I've seen over the passing of film, the feelings of many go well beyond "choice." Many film shooters obviously wish that digital had never happened. By definititon, they're "luddites." Not bad people, just luddites. <vbg> Paul

It's funny, I've been accused by the Lawyer for my Great Grandfathers trust of being a Luddite for not having a cell phone. I on the other hand value privacy, which is the best reason not to have such a device, if I had one I'd never be alone, (which for some people must be the next thing to being dead).
