Kodak has always had a history of joining in with new technologies. Certainly they are deeply committed to film as it is their core business but they are smart to explore digital. I remember 20+ years ago all the howls from the motion picture film folks as Kodak started to sell VHS video tape (they only sold somebody else's tape under the Kodak logo). While digital is all the talk it is interesting to see (on the various lists I subscribe to) the number of people who have switched over to digital, and then see many of them announce they are moving back to film. Someday it will be a completely digital world, but not in my lifetime. sl - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
