126 Instamatic in the 1960s; 110 in the '70s; Disc in the '80s; APS in 
the '90s - with (I believe) the possible exception of APS - each format 
had a shorter lifespan and worse quality than the previous.  I got out 
of photofini****ng before APS came along, but of all the 'rolls' of Disc 
film I ever worked with, I saw exactly ~one~ decent print come from 
it...  ={  APS has some interesting features, but it still couldn't beat 
good ol' 35mm.

And then came digital...
