Kodachrome's popularity peaked in the 1960s and '70s, when Americans' urge to catalog every single holiday, family vacation and birthday celebration hit its stride. Kodachrome II, a faster, more versatile version of the film, came out in 1961, making it even more appealing to the point-and-shoot generation.

...course, some of the new operating system's power will be realized only on the 3GS, which promises to be faster and have a greater variety of bells and whistles (a compass, so that you can see what direction you're facing; a video camera and a 3-megapixel camera) that are missing on the current version. For Apple fans, the only thing that would make this week more exciting would be if Steve Jobs, who's been out on sick leave and is due back by the end of June, finally returned...
