Sorry you missed my points. My point was 
basically there's nothing you can do to extend a 
cel's life, high or low end, except take good 
care of it and even then they will degrade. So 
yes I feel they are destined to disappear BECAUSE 
they are not made to last!

out of the junk yard..

Err, yes. But I mean new models. Sorry, dont see 
light-weight fiberglass computer-run cars being 
saved for generations to come. Sorry for being 
OT. ^^;;

True, I dont see my cels as collectables (sounds 
like they are cards or something!). You sound 
like you're a little offended at that. I'm sorry.
