Different situations. Leica basically did go bankrupt several times, but was 
small enough for one rich guy to step in an rescue it. Apple had Steve Jobs. 
Coca Cola had a product that people kept buying. There is no seismic 
technological shift with soft drinks. Kodak, unfortunately, is more like 
Polaroid--unable to cope with a major technological shift that rendered its 
main product commercially unviable (at least on the scale necessary).

Cheers,
Nathan
