TIME PASSING
Maybe it is the change of year ... but I found myself this morning wondering how we can communicate to others the sense of time passing.

Yes, you can breathe new life into a computer with extra memory etc but ... a) hard discs die - with an average life of a bit over 5 years. b) electronic chips deteri...

Family Chronicles
In parts of Europe there is a recognised category of films known as "family chronicles". These are the sort of films Pathe, Kodak et al had in mind when they developed the home cinema market ... moving picture records of family occasions: holidays, weddings, parties and get-togethers. I'll...

The obvious choice is the Widescreen Centre. They offer the service but it should be more widely available because Super-8mm is still in use. Many students like it. http://www.widescreen-centre.co.uk/Catalogue/Motion_picture_division.html You and Linda go to so many festivals this could have happene...
