    Photoshop 2.5

    Because back then very few people knew how to use it and you could make $400/hour for making drop shadows and gobs of money if you had an idea or two....

    I liked Ilford Multigrade FB a lot. Then they split the product into a warmtone and coldtone. For my taste, the warmtone is a little too warm and the coldtone is too stark an unemotional.

    Still, Ilford FB warmtone glossy is a great product.

    I also liked and miss the Agfa FB VC paper.

    That reminds me of something I hadn't thought of in a long time - going to your local drugstore to buy darkroom chemicals. Hard to believe today, when there's hardly even a local camera store around that sells them, but darkroom chemicals used to be a standard item on the shelves of many drugstores - like this one (photo made with a Deardorff 8x10 camera and cropped). And after you bought your chemicals you could sit down at the counter and get a nice lunch. Those were the days.

    And Brian, you remind me of something... In my high school days, we photography students went to KMart, Sears, or JC Penney to purchase film, paper, and darkroom chemicals.
