    I agree on most points, but you have been addressing a segue from
    the original discussion. Like you said, you didn't make the time to
    read it. 

    The thrust of the original discussion was the questioning of the
    slide as "standard". To summarize and probably over-simplify, some
    cling to slides for reasons that seem more based on inertia than
    anything else. They don't want to change because change requires,
    well, change! 

    Some here see slides as an anachronism....difficult, time-consuming,
    expensive and they can't be shared across a wide community. Some of
    us are incredulous that a whole segment of the community refuses to
    come into the 21st century world of digital imagery. 

    I find it odd that SNAG, who does such a tremendous job of bringing
    the latest knowledge to us all on so many levels would be stuck in
    time with this slide silliness. Nikon and Canon are out of the film
    camera business, having recognized digital as the future. Maybe when
    the last slide projector bulb burns out, SNAG and head-in-the-sand
    juries will get it. IMO, SNAG is positioned to LEAD, so why not
    LEAD? Or, at least, get out of the way. 

    THAT was the discussion.
