	Ah, I rather miss Prodigy sometimes. Simpler days. I was so excited  
when they added real photographs to news stories and they would draw  
on the screen one line at a time...

	Do you buy your chemicals from elsewhere or did you give up?

	I'm fascinated by film, although digital is so much more cost  
effective, it's mostly a observer type fascination. I have been  
tinkering with an old Minolta SRT-201 that I located and I'm trying to  
revive for my parents, however. They have fond memories of the SRT  
series SLRs.
