Where You Can Still Get Film Developed If You Just Unearthed an Old Roll

I remember the first digital camera I ever used.

It was the size of a salad bowl and stored images on a 3.5 disk.

Yes, the same size we used to shove into our computers.

Each imagea disk could hold about 20 photoswas 0.3 megapixels.
