You guys who shoot a roll or two a year, and who don't intend to do anything 
with the slide pairs (like take the chips out for drum scanning), can 
probably safely spend your time permanently mounting your pairs with tape or 
gum or Wess tabs or whatever you're using, and heat-seal the suckers so you'd 
have to tear them to get the chips out. I, on the other hand, who shoots 
upwards of 150 rolls a year and often has to remove one chip or another to 
have it drum-scanned for the magazine, consider slip-ins a "godsend." The 
stuff I want to exhibit, I can easily move to RBTs, but for quick mounting 
and viewing that's REVERSIBLE, you can't beat a decent slip-in. Fortunately, 
Paul Talbot of Rocky Mountain Memories seems on the verge of manufacturing 
some new ones that look pretty decent.
