(Mind-bending!)

Absolute BS!  Film processing is still everywhere.  Most places have 
upgraded their older processors to new digital models that do a much
better 
job of printing than the old ones, but there's no shortage of film 
processing places.  The only processing that's hard to find is B & W film 
processing that's non-E6.
