Default Is "Fujifilm" an archaic name?

Kodak had often been accused of neglecting its digital camera business,
in favor of its film sales.

Well, then, what does one say of Fujifilm, which includes the word
"film" in the company's name?

Photographic film is not the only kind of film extant. The Fujifilm web
site lists the following business areas (but you need a web browser to
learn this):

Business Products
Medical Systems
Graphic Systems
Photofinishing Products
Motion Picture Products
Optical Devices
Recording Media
Industrial Products
Semiconductor Materials
Biomaterials

Fujifilm is currently the majority stakeholder in Fuji Xerox, which
manufactures and distributes Xerox products for the Asian market.

Good one!

Does General Motors sell only motors for generals? Life must be hard
for people who take everything literally!

Nothing.
It is just a corporate brand name which hasn’t undermined any of its
“non-film” business.

The last thing Fujifilm can be accused of is neglecting its digital camera
business.

Because, John, and quite a number of us in this room live in the USA. Most
everybody else thinks in terms of Kilowatts, not horsepower.

Because no one knows what the f--- a joule is.


Apparently neither do you.
The basic unit of power is the watt.Horsepower just simplifies things for the
poor farmer plowing a field with a horse drawn plow, when he is being sold a
steam tractor.
Would this look like 110 horses to a 19th Century farmer, who is not likely
to understand 82 Kilowatts?

One watt is the power which in one second gives rise to one joule of energy.
(that is where joule comes in) A joule has more to do with force/energy, and
little to do with power other than in defining the watt. Horsepower has
always been expressed in terms of watts, the number of which varies depending
on whether one is refering to boiler, electrical, or mechanical energy, and
is set between 736-746 W / hp.

So a 200 bhp automobile should actually have an out put of 149.14 Kilowatts
