Inspite of numerous attempts at trying to get Kodak Singapore to bring the
stuff in, and for the past three years, they have refused to do so. At $2 per
liter pack, it will merely cost them less than $200 to ship in 50 packs to
place in various major dealers' shopfronts to test the market. Instead of
doing that, they just stuck to their belief that there is no demand in
Singapore.<<<<<<<<

Hi Dan,

It's this kind of business smarts why Kodak is constantly fighting  a loosing
battle to other manufacturers. I have no sympathy for then as the head guys
are really quite stupid in this day and age of marketing.  Much like the head
marketing people at leica!
