Yeah Steve, you are right, to a point. Try and get the great YELLOW (Now
meaning chicken) Father to produce Matrix for dye transfer. Kodabromide.
etc etc.
I think we need to support the small concerns that have the guts to
reinvent Kodak's wheel and survive on making a living rather than making
millions' livings for them. Kodak could give a #$%^ about us. and most of
us have spent a small fortune individually with them either directly, or
through an employer. I just don't buy the idea they will keep
manufacturing product as long as there is a "distributor quantity" involved.
I wish the situation were otherwise.
