My point exactely. 20 years ago, I was fortunate to have a choice of 100, 200, or 400 film. 100 and 200 were "high quality", while the 400 was grainy. But 400 was the only one I could use to get a decent picture of BigFoot in the Kingdome (both obsolete by the way). Now with the advent of technology, I find 400 film to be of very high quality and wouldn't go back to the old stuff because TODAY it is obsolete.

quality and wouldn't
Actually you could get Kodak 35mm 1000 print film as far back as 1974. Didn't want to pay for it but it was available.

?? film is a perishable. it can not go obsolete. it simply ceases to exist ?
that is like saying a "nail" can somehow become obsolete.

computers have not reached the "good enough" stage yet. Film Camera's have.
what exactly was the point ?

I have dropped my Nikon onto concrete from 4+ feet. CRINGED and watched my life flash before my eyes each time. thankfully it has survived unscathed.
from the rocket. hell no.
point is you tried to make a point of durability in relation to obsolescence. I simply pointed out how DURABLE my crappy little fun 320 is.
IE I was showing your original comment had NO real point of value.
Yes, Chris, I'm glad we agree on this subject. The square nails the pioneers used in rustic cabins were made of some pretty weak steel. I think they were hand forged as well. Now, those nails are obsolete and have been replaced by new, better nails.
steve
so your saying we no longer use nails. so your saying when I see that 50ft long 8ft high eisle of nails at home depot that its an illusion ?
ok
OH you meant the STEEL used to make those nails is obsolete.
is that what you meant ?
Chris Taylor
forged as well.
I think what he's saying is that the square nails are obsolete. Pretty much all of the nails you see at Home Depot are round...

So the square nails are obsolete. The square nails that have a fixed number of sides; the digital nails, are obsolete.
But the nails with the nice analog curved surface are still good...
Oh, the humanity!

not all. many are square. I believe they are masonry nails ?? will have to go look.
point is for all intents and purposes a nail is a nail. it s headed stake you drive into something to secure it.
a "tent stake" is an oversized nail :-)
etc.. etc..
now what IS obsolete is the formula of steel used (etc..) to make those nails.
I just think obsolete is a heavily abused word. it tends to be used improperly.
Chris Taylor
Except that they have a finite fixed number of atoms. Ohhh how digital
Chris Taylor
Are you sure about that?
Inclined plane, anyone? ; )
Randy
are you saying "STEEL" is obsolete!
get a grip...
Don't listen to Dave G. - he says things like that to all the boys!
-dave w
LOL!!
You just told Chris Taylor to get a grip.
Are you delusional?
Oh, wait. You are Steve Bloom. You ARE delusional.
actually I was quite clear. in fact I am not going to repeat myself I will quote my own post
"OH you meant the STEEL used to make those nails is obsolete"
just in case your too dimwited to figure it out let me clarify FURTHER
"used to make those nails"
in case your still too much of a moron to figure this out STEEL is like cooking. its a RECIPE
STEEL is not an ELEMENT. it is made of multiple elements.
how you MIX THEM and COOK THEM (recipie) is what is obsolete.
Steel from 100 years ago is NOT the same as STEEL today. the recipie has changed. the OLD recipies go obsolete as we develop better one and the old ones no longer serve a viable purpose.
IS that clear enough for you ?
let me know when YOU have a "grip" on this
You forgot about atomic decay.
