itdo,
I'm not from Ireland, but it is interesting that this is starting to happen. It's hard to stop "progress." My only thought on this is if you only look and see how much digital projection has improved the last twenty years, I would guess that we will continue to see further improvement in the next twenty years, to where at some point we won't be able to see the difference between 35mm and digital. When you go back and look at the quality of the first twenty years of movie making, they definitely had some pretty marginal quality.
On the positive side, just think of how reasonably priced those o-o-o-o-o-old 35mm projectors will be to a collector, and possibly the prints as well
