My goodness; the last time I heard the word sensurround, it was in a record
by the "Sex Pistols".

Malcolm

Note 1# "Sex Pistols" were a punk group of the previous century.

Note 2# "Record" is a primitive recording medium superseded by the CD & DVD.

Note 3# "Film" has been replaced by digital cameras. 

History is easy to re-write :-)

Actually, Herb, it isn't too bad!  At one time my sister-in-law's father
worked for Technicolour in the UK, and we could get substantial amounts of
film for no cost from him (don't know whether he had to pay for it).  My
brother and I both used it, and the quality was fine.  The only drawback was
that it could only be processed by Technicolour, and of course it came back
unmounted.

if you go to the Photo Marketing Association's web site
(http://www.pmai.org) and download some of the public access reports, you
will see the numbers, at least to the end of 2002.

I would *expect* the pro films to go away sooner than the consumer-grade
stuff.
