An interesting tidbit, regarding the switch over to digital projection - when we were in Winterset, we had the privilege of seeing the documentary "Dreaming the Quiet Man" at the Iowa theater, the only 'movie house' in Winterset. They did use a digital projector to show that documentary, but in general are not set up there to do it on a large-scale basis, they just don't have the proper equipment, and being such a small business, may not have the financial means to make the necessary changes. Nowadays, movie theaters 'upload' the current movies to their systems for showing, if I understand it correctly.

It is sad that this little theater may go under due to the change in technology.

Richard,
One thing I've learned over the years is, Never say Never.
This is something we have been expecting for several years, and it had to come to pass, the momentum was just too great. While the two mediums are different, I suspect, not only will digital get better, it may come up with some innovations that we cannot even imagine today.
