Video is tired of sitting at the back of the bus. Especially since the bus was created by film in the first place.

But is it intelligent for video to enjoy or encourage the genocide of film? Or vice versa? I prefer film over video any day of the week. But I do appreciate the technological advances in both film and video.

For those of you who prefer video over film - is it because it's cheaper or easier? Don't say both. Which reason is more dominant?

the wheels on the bus go round and round

nothing to do with film either, since that just stole the bus that theatre created.

A-haaaa, but theatre just stole the bus that Gladiators created...

I know film isn't going away soon but it is looking more and more inevitable every year.

For the first time, the company said it generated more annual sales from digital imaging than from film-based technology.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">

Its overall digital sales in the quarter surged 45 percent to $2.67 billion, while revenues from film, paper and other chemical-based businesses slumped 21 percent to $1.51 billion.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">

Digital sales accounted for 54 percent of total revenue for the year, marking the first time in the company's 125-year history that digital exceeded traditional sales.

Urgh.

Depressing.

Damn, paper and chemicals down to mere $1.51 BILLION in sales.

That had to hurt.

As I said...Kodak has so many fingers in so many pies that I doubt it will go anywhere.

General Motors is struggling in the USA right now. But I bet Vauxhall, Opel, Holden, Saab are selling well. All owned by GM. I am sure as long as troops are in Iraq that GM will be selling Hummers. As long as you listen to XM satelite radio GM will be cashing in.

Oh...And as long as Fuji Heavy Industries is making cranes, trains, planes and any other big machine--GM will be there to.

No, Kodak will put out some bad numbers. They will restructure and focus their company but film and Kodak are far from dying.

Good LUck
