None, for the same reasons I didn't use it when it was around, lack of local processing.

It's gone, as in ultra-permanently. I think we have a better chance of seeing dinosaurs, a Tasmanian tiger or a Dodo bird before Kodachrome again.
I launched my photographic career in my late teens using the stuff in the Navy decades ago...

I shot my very last roll of it on January 17th, 2011 out in Parsons Kansas, the last roll anyone shot of it for that matter...

I had a wonderful time with that film but it is gone and the book that I am ( finally ) going to be putting out will bring closure to that chapter of my life....
I don't know about the impact that Kodachrome had (I don't think that kind of impact is possible again - the industry has changed so much for starters), but if you want the Kodachrome look, shoot Ektar 100. It's the closest thing to Kodachrome available today.
Speak for yourself! I have a PDP-11 running a teletype and paper tape in my basement, just like I had in high school!

If Kodak relaunch Kodachrome and one development center for Kodachrome; how many rolls you will buy????
<wavy lines....>
I have a PDP-11/10, which is a true microprogrammed UNIBUS machine from 1974, 28k words of core memory, an RK05 disk drive, dual RX01 floppy drives, a DECwriter, a VT220 terminal (because it has 20ma current loop), and Extended Arithmetic Element boards which I have yet to install. I also have spare processor and memory boards.
I found and fixed the few hardware issues it had early on when I put the system together in the mid-1980's.

I used to use PDP8s and DEC10s seems like yesterday<wavy lines....>

I am, kind of, surprised to read many of the negatives as well.There will always be a need for a color medium that can survive the vagaries of time with a minimum of fuss and upkeep, or so it seems to me.
But when I'm doing one of my important shoots, it sure would be nice if I had Kodachrome as a choice.
Good point why wish for something that is near impossible to make when we can wish for something this very possible.If Kodak were to reintroduce something I wish they reintroduce Ektachrome rather than Kodachrome. I just need some good slide film.
Kodachrome was always sent to a lab 'a long way away.' Difference was, you'd drop the rolls off at your local camera shop and pick them up there several days later. It was all behind the scene to the photographer.
