Agreed. :-) I had a Kodak DISC as my first 'my camera' camera.
Those were just cool - LOL

We would wait until Clark Photo had a 'coupon' mailer thingy in the
Sunday paper and send it off. :-)

mpix.com - I contacted them last year about some 35mm film... See, I
have my old 35mm camera my wife (girlfriend at the time) gave me 
for Christmas the year I graduated. It is a Pentax K1000 and was VERY 
very similar to the one I used in photojournalism. Well, I was in a play
fall of 2019 at the local Community College and we needed a camera with
a flash that worked for a prop, so I took mine. I then decided to get
some film, but looked online before I did, to make sure I could get
it processed. Found them and seemed like a good company...
