Is this the famous John Bradley who writes the "British Collecting 
Scene" in the "Inside 3D" magazine?  

Hi!  I enjoy reading your column!

I think it is, but first we have to clarify "fading" and "time".
Also viewer vs. projection.  Also, how old are you?  Also, do you
care for your grandchildren?  Also, is there life after death?
And, if there is, is there going to be any 3d?  ;)

Lots of questions...

I was just looking at my first rolls of slide film taken in Myconos 
with Fuji 50, some 8 1/2 years ago.  Still vibrant colors, I mean
colours, as good as they first came out of the camera.  No hint of 
fading.  If they continue like that for 50 more years then I will 
die happy!  If they don't, I will be a disappointed old man.

Projection?  Kodachrome fades fast.  The reason I was looking at these
slides is for a slide show on Greece.  They will be projected.  E6 is 
better, I have been advised.  Still a fair comment?
