Dear Will,
    If you go to pick up developed and mounted 35 mm slides at a 
well-known US discount chain starting with "W", some rosy-cheeked 
employee will quiz you at checkout as to:
a)why they sent your disposable camera back
b)what is in that box?
c) is this some digital format?
d) how do you look at slides? With your computer?
e) I didn't know normal people (not schools) could have slide projectors.

All have happened in the last three months to me, so obviously, 35 mm 
slides *are* unreadable today (at least by humans <age 25).

Best,
 Jo
