If the problems in their film business were due to digital, then their digital business should be doing well, right? Well, it is losing lots of money. If the reason is competition from Fuji, then it is just poor execution on Kodak's part. Let us remember that management of a struggling company will always try to blame poor performance on external factors. Current favorites on both sides of the Atlantic include: - - bad weather - - good weather - - the weak Euro - - the strong dollar - - unfair competition from the other side of the ocean - - the apparent slowdown in the US economy and so on. Anything except poor or poorly executed business strategy. Nathan - --- Birkey <dbirkey@uio.telconet.net> wrote: > Film is slowly dying..... according to Kodak at > least...
