I have thoroughly had it with Mystic Color Labs. I used to send my film
there because they *were* quite good, but when the company grew, the
quality (at least for me) went straight down the drain. Among the
problems I've had were:

	- funny discolorations on the prints that were not on the
	  negatives
	- they actually cut my negative strips in the middle of the
	  frames. they then tried to splice the frame together, leaving
	  a line in the middle of several of my most beautiful 
	  pictures from Nice, France
	- they screwed up an order for two enlargements, doing one and
	  forgetting the other

I've been meaning to write them a nasty letter, especially about the
negative cutting bit, but I never got around to it. Do you know what
they did? They send me this little "dear customer" slip of paper, told
me they understand how valuable my pictures were, that they are terribly
sorry, and gave me a credit of about $1.00. That was the end of it. I
haven't used them since December, and I'm still looking for a regular
place for developing. (I tried SBI in Harvard Square but they were
awfully expensive for the quality of the pictures I got back.)

   I would like to know why porter had to be set so deep...

Because of loading and clearance considerations of the tracks and also
because it is descending to go under built up areas to get to Davis.
There were some serious considerations in the Porter-Davis segment
about not disturbing any of the existing buildings, their foundations,
or other things.  John Hancock Insurance had just lost a BIG lawsuit
by the church next door to their new building, on the grounds that the
construction had depeleted the water table and that had caused
settling which required extremely expensive restoration to a
historical structure.  The T didn't want to end up with the same kinds
of problems...  I think this is also the reason why they're at
different levels at Porter.  The two tunnels follow slightly different
routes under the parking lot and shopping area and one needed more
clearance than the other.

Ritz (Porter Square) scratched the _negatives_ on film I brought in

Am I wrong to be suspicious of "one hour photo processing" machines?
