film had the money, film people got the careers


which is why they went bankrupt.

they knew digital was going to replace film, but they refused to let go
of the film business.

had they invested in digital, like their competitors did, they'd still
be a player.

they had NAFTA and a consumer camera plant in Mexico, they were right on
time I tell you, it was not an accounting problem, or a strategic
problem, it was a corporate culture problem


none of that matters.

what matters is as you say, corporate culture.

the management were a bunch of clueless ****s, who despite claiming
that digital was going to replace film, did not invest in digital.
