    Which is fine until Grandma wants to print out all the selfies and other photos our Grand kids send her. Then, that black and white anything won’t cut it. And I can’t afford a photo quality laser printer…

      There’s online and supermarket printing services for that. Usually works out cheaper than maintaining a printer.

        Yep and there are also fairly cheap strictly photo printers (cheap compared to getting film developed, at least)

        There nearest grocery store that might offer that kind of service would be at least a 200 mile round trip. And while we are old enough to remember sending real film to film labs for developing and then waiting weeks to get something back, she’s not very interested in doing so anymore. To her the cost is not worth the inconvenience of waiting anymore.

        And frankly, some arguments are not worth having. In marriage, you need to pick your fights.

        She has multiple digital frames. But she still wants to print some out. Grandma’s will Grandma…
