One item that has affected my local lab is that apparently the "PAKO" style plastic mounts that their mounting machine was set up to use have disappeared. they sent my slides back in sleeves and I had to mount them myself. Fortunately cardboard mounts are still available. I would be afraid that many labs might junk their mounting machine if they run out of mounts, and so just getting a supplier to make similar mounts may not be sufficient to get the mounting service back....
This is why we appreciate Kodak's very loud voice. Their CES announcement will do more to make people "wake up" to the changes in the industry than anything we would say or do at this very early point in our own evolution.
If we can simply add one more voice, perhaps we can help in our own small way to help stop the decay.
