Quite true and it crossed my mind also but the reason I wasn't to keen
on the idea is because I didn't like the idea of the film strip being
exposed to the room. Enough dust collects on the film in the cassette
as it is. I have noticed enough dust particles even straight out of a
newly opened cassette from the factory! The idea of reloading the cassette
would be a minor inconvienance and still is a nice idea for another 
reason. Space wise once you start collecting a few of these they start
taking up space quite quickly. If only one cassette was used for all
the different film strips this would help alot. If all goes well thou
they are studying coming out with a storage container to hold all those
cassettes for those that collect the titles made by them.
