Seems to me that companies haven't, in general, done very well surviving really great technological changes in their industry. On that basis, Fuji and Kodak could be in trouble. On the other hand, that same argument seems to apply to Nikon and Canon, which aren't particularly in trouble that I can see. And Fuji and Kodak are both big players in various parts of the digital market. I'm disappointed and worried that Kodak has pulled back from the serious part of the digital market, though, after being nearly the only player for quite a while early on. And if they go, somebody else will come along, probably out of left field by surprise. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b@xxxxxxxx>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://noguns-nomoney.com/> <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/> <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
