There is an article in the September issue of Popular Photography magazine
concerning the new Ektachrome 100 slide film.  In this article was a short
discussion on the longetivity of Ektachrome vs. Kodachrome.  It stated that
if the proper storage technics are used, i.e. - slides kept at proper
temperature in a refrigerator, etc., that Kodachrome does indeed last much
longer before fading sets in.  But, if they're not stored exactly right,
the difference between Kodachrome and Ektachrome is minimal.  So, if you're
like me and you're using archival slide pages kept in a dark closet, you
probably won't see much difference in the longetivity of your slides.
