I think they mean “the most storied casualty to date”.

Does anyone have Kodak in the 2012 death pool? :stuck_out_tongue:

That’s what you get for not charging outrageous prices for printer ink, I guess…

Frankly, I don’t see Kodak surviving. Its only hope of doing so is to shut down its domestic manufacturing and do everything in China.
The photograpy (film) business is dead-my local camera store hangs on by doing services (video transfer)-their film counter is tiny (though B&W film by Ilford seems to be doing OK).
They also carry polaroid film (B&W by “The Impossible Project”)-$22.00 for 8 shots-why would someone spend the money for this?
Koday has too much debt, and no growth.
RIP Kodak-I predict it will emerge from bankruptcy, only to go under in 3-4 years hence.

They did, mostly. It didn’t help

Innovate or die. I’m looking at you Microsoft.
