[rollei_list] Re: The End of Kodachrome

ROFLMAO. Very good. But I think AIG has a better potential of making money
than Kodachrome. As great of a film as it is, it makes up for less than 1%
of Kodak's revenue. Unless you had some new market for it, for all intents
it is dead as wet plates. (OK, someone will say they know a bunch using wet
plates, but I am sure you get my point.)
