When I was in college, way back in the 70s, I had a small kit for developing Ektachrome (and similar) "slide" film. I used to do it in the bathroom. Those home-developed photos have faded faster than the commercially processed ones -- store developed Kodachrome has been most stable -- but in the past few years I've been able to scan many of them and restore them to pretty decent condition.
Right now, the first mug of tea for the day, while waiting for the technician from Dell to come out and fix my son's computer. It just needs a hard disk, but it's still covered, so I'll let them do it.
