#1 Is that your handwriting Fred or is it original? Kodaks Had the instant mass appeal of iPhones + iPads all rolled into one. Money was made, borders stretched, cities enriched, patents taken. O for where art thou Kodachrome? A lesson in what can happen.

#2 And you should see Rochester now. Kodak turned it into a jewel of a city........................................now? Not so much.

#3 Drawbacks of being a company town. Not as bad as Detroit, but like so many western ghost towns, when your reason to exist no longer is around, so too is the glory.

#4 I was working at Kodak as a consultant in '96-'98 and saw the death throes up close.

That was when the digital camera came into its own and their main revenue stream, film, died almost over night.

There was much hope for the medical imaging market for some reason but why I'll never know.

#5 And the real irony is that Kodak invented the digital camera.

#6 Such irony is what you get with capitalistic greed instead of government-sponsored central planning.

#7 Not my hen scratching.

Eastman replaced the stiff poses of the 19th century with the pretty smiles of the Kodak girls. He deserves a monument for that, if not for Kodachrome.
