Scott, yea, tell me about it. I cut my photo teeth on photofloods way back when.
Although if you are careful about how you handle them, you can get a lot more hours than the rated amount. Even with the benifit of strobes though, there is a lot of benifit to shooting with photofloods. And with the ease of correcting color balance with digital, photofloods are so much easier to use than it use to be. Although with the better higher ISO of digital, using cool lights is a whole lot easier too.
