Go buy some stuff from your local shop now !

We can only support stores that carry what we want, and those stores won't sell us what we want, so we buy online.

And condescend us at the same time.

"I'm looking for a timer?"

"A timer, what for?"

"For timing things."

" I haven't seen one of those in 3 years. Camera shop collegue: I haven't seen one either." You could try and get a chess timer."
 
your quite right Dave, though i suspect support of online

during the late fifties through the sixties; cameras to
chemicals. Mail Order Discounters were the death of
the local full line photo shops.

Camera stores with one day or one hour processing
are still around; lots of digital of course. Dan
