What's a carburator?  Weren't they those things they used back in the
'50s and '60s for.... gosh, I can't remember.


At one time, this country was far more self reliant and willing to do
things on their own. I smile when I see all the stuff written about the APS
Photo system, how better it is than the old way, all those people making
mistakes loading their cameras, etc. Personally, I believe that the
Marketing People out there in Consumerville take simple chores and tell us
now they are too complicated, and the public buys it. Why have we changed
so much?

We had lots of customers who used Kodak to mount their Stereo and when the
service was for the most part discontinued, people did not really stop
shooting stereo, they learned to mount.

Just an observation,
