But this is NOT what successful companies do.  Take your firm with 
worldwide presence and tens of thousands of employees and turn it into a 
niche company much smaller in scope and size (and profits).  Downsizing 
is losing, isn't it?  You only do it when you have no prospects for 
growth.

I'm not saying that this isn't where Kodak will end up, and if they do, 
it will probably be the best outcome for us film users.
