I hope that wasn't a surprise to anybody.
My son sat down tonight and explained to me how we can get rid of broadcast TV, cable TV, telephone service and a variety of other things for $60 per month fiber optic internet connectivity.
Too late, I would say.
Aren’t they below a buck?
A little late, wouldn’t you say?
A lot of it was ultimately unavoidable.
Digital cameras can do so much of what Kodak or Polaroid used to own.

Kodak - A shame!
I remember in the seventies and early eighties that I would buy their stock in the low forties, and sell in their mid sixties, then buy again, as that was their range for a decade. Did that cycle a few times and made a few quid!, all while I bought Etchrachrome slide film, to feed my SLR.
We all have to hate the demise of an innovative company that has so been unable to transform itself into today’s market. Recently Kodak was profiting from the print paper revenues after the film business dried up; but then lost that market due to low cost innovators in that sector.
Printers?? Compete with hundreds of others! Not!
Now, Kodak, it’s time for your dignity to call an end to your era, pay off your obligations, and be remmbered as one of the gold luster US companies for a century!
