The stock price seems to have  anticipated Ch.11 for quite a while.
Dominant companies seem to regularly crash when there is a paradigm
change, and there certainly has been one in photography.  At one point
I thought HP ought to acquire Kodak, but  HP seems to be a mess of its
own making now.

I think CMOS will take over the sensor business even at the high end.
So, CCD and Kodak become more irrelevant to us.  Sad to see a great
company go down.
