Well, I guess we'll have to start having our annual convention with a few hundred booths at the Las Vegas Convention Center!

Not to rain on the parade but that's 20,000 PAID members for the PMA.

Point is....many retailers have been snubbing film...getting on the d%$#@#@

bandwagon, being a bit snobbish, non caring, all with the attitude that there is no longer a market in film. It is an incorrect assessment....recently at a large local hospital, physicians have started requesting to see the film and not just the d&^%$#.

Apug alone has a customer base that is worthy of courtship.

There is more to come Mordecai!

It is all good.

And you have to think that the 20,000 or so here is just the "tip of the iceberg". After all, look how quickly Kodak's recent Porta freebie offer blew through the original quota and, to their credit, led them to distribute a lot more rolls than originally planned.

And today I saw a tourist on the steps of St. Bart's on Park Avenue sporting a F-100 around his neck. Had to look twice - but that optional motor drive was a dead giveaway!

Maybe sporting a film camera no longer marks one as some kind of weird "neanderthal" anymore?

At any given time the number of guests is equal in number to the members browsing the site. Additionally, many members who never or seldom post are also logged and browsing at any given moment.

The point? 20k may over represents, the number of posting members under represents, and by any measure the strength of the site is very high.
