It wouldn't have helped. To survive given their business model, Kodak had to figure out a way to retain the business of the millions -- perhaps billions -- of people all over the globe who relied on them for snapshots of the kids. They should have been first and least inexpensive in point and shoot tech, and then maybe even phones. Probably an impossible task. The advanced amateur and pro side of the biz was peanuts. Movie film was profitable at one time, but even that went away. > -- > No fixed Adobe > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
