Kodak and GE are/were completely different — GE had its fingers in everything, Kodak was highly specialized. Some dolt near the top insisted that they stop relying on Macs for their photo station innards and then got the rug pulled out in a MS beta.

Yeah, I still recall, back in the days when digital cameras were becoming seriously comparable to film in quality, the geniuses at E.Kodak announced that they were dropping their entire digital photography efforts" to "focus on their film business".

Now, with thousands of $$$ worth of film Nikons (for which film and processing are hardly available) in the safe, I'm 100% digital, and my hold-out wife is just about to give up film...

Even back when Kodak pulled that dumb@$$ move, it didn't take a futurist with a computer to predict Kodak's demise...
