In 1982, Kodak released a new film format, the Disc Film, and the Disc Camera. Each Disc Film was contained in a plastic cartridge, had 15 exposures (8mm x 11mm), and the disc would rotate 24˚automatically after each exposure. Since the film cartridge is flat (unlike traditional film rolls), Disc Cameras could be made much thinner, and the film advanced to the next frame automatically. Kodak released different models at different price points. Other manufacturers also made the Disc Film and Disc Film Cameras. The quality of the prints made from disc film left a bit to be desired, and the format was discontinued.

Turn-It-Off Tuesday
Fellow Podcaster Jonathan Cost has been listening to DGW since Episode 1, but recently had a week of DGW shows to catch up with, and he played them in his car with his wife and 12-year-old son. When it came to the TTTT episode, his son said it should be called "Turn-It-Off Tuesday". He was sad to find that his son does not share his interest in his favourite show on the TWiT network. Never mind, Jonathan, your son has a lot to learn.
