I've got some Kodachrome sitting in the freezer for years that I have not used. I also have some old Kodachrome processing mailers sitting around somewhere.

Back in the late 1980's I set up a darkroom for making Cibachrome/Ilfochrome prints from slides. I used to shoot only Kodachrome slides for years. I'd have the slide film developed professionally, but made prints at home. When I moved in 1992, I built a much bigger darkroom in my basement. But when I moved in 2003, I did not build a new darkroom. I sold all of darkroom equipment on eBay about a year after that. At that point I switched to print film and getting photo cd's made. My wife joined the digital camera age about 2 years ago. And I just finally gave up, put my Nikon F4s on the shelf and got a Nikon DSLR back in February. At least I can still use my film SLR lenses, flash equipment and other accessories on my new camera (although there are some functionality losses with some of the old stuff on the new camera).

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that my local supermarket stopped processing film.
