Why? Because they want to and we have let them. That is about to change. You hug them. We'll shoot them. One or the other ought to work. What would you be saying if this had happened in your country, and it was thousands of your friends and reletives who were killed. Not, "hug them", I'll bet.

Hi Bill, Detroit Autographic (I think that's the name. I keep getting it wrong, but you know who I mean: the old Meteor lab) uses plastic mounts. They seem to keep the film relatively flat and are nice and clean. My only gripe is that, in the case of this lab, they don't number the holders. Paul
