A photoshop plug in, the program will convert digital images to the appearance of a variety of films, such as Tri x. Works very well, really looks like tri x. Also available in the menu is tri x pushed 1 and pushed 2. It offers most of the popular films grain structures and curve characteristics. Aristotle engrained the notion of either/ or into western culture with his law of the excluded middle. The examples of frustration you give are of course valid but unfortunately are understandable by other factors ancillary to the main point which make these kinds of arguments maintain their validity to so many. If you ask why they are still extant, a plethora of cultural realities emerge that explain away the illogical nature of the myths. You have the option of directing your frustration towards that phenomena. I just bought some software called real grain.

And then there's the green energy that comes from landfills (methane power plants). There's a larger story. But I recycle, too :) I was more frustrated at the shop owners attitude of following the tide of popular opinion rather then his own "statistical data" (sales figures). HP5+ is fine and I used it quite a bit up until Tri-X was reformulated a couple of years ago. I have no problems shooting it for a few months. ;) @Tom: There’s no shortage of landfill space and the landfill space that has been filled you usually don’t even notice (check out your nearest park or golf course. chances are it used to be a landfill.).
