Me too.

I don't know about hospitals, but several dentists I've used a completely 
digital now. The VA still uses sheet X-ray film. I think by the time I get 
around to thawing out my roll and sheet film, they won't have anyplace left to 
process the film, especially the 8 x 10 and 4 x 5. Can do it myself, of course, 
as I still have the gear to tank dip sheets, and a drum roller that I've never 
used, but could. But will I?
