       I think this would the sort of stuff that would disappear if somebody 
did a leveraged buyout of the film division. That plus any products that 
din't make money. I'm sure Kodak still has the odd item that isn't cash flow 
positive.

        Supposedly digital camera sales **dropped** 3% last year. Look at 
things like 
the Nikon D40 or the Pentax 100[Or is it 110?]. They're being forced to drop 
prices. I can't see a big push for digital R&D. The market has already 
matured. The big question is how much damage will the non-camera cameras 
cause? Cellphone cameras,video cameras etc. Many people find those good 
enough still cameras. Camera sales weren't robust prior to digital. All 
digital did was create an new cycle that may already be over.
