Today's papers report that Kodak is about to reduce its work force worldwide
by 20%.

People just aren't buying film the way they used to...

Maybe, but I am sure the reason goes way beyond that.

I think Kodak's problems have more to do with poor organization than with
people abandoning film...

Really? Film sales in the US were down 10% in 2002. When the 2003 results
are in, I bet they show another 15% decline. They can't keep suffering
declines like that, which will likely accelerate. Amateurs are flocking to
digital in droves.

Kodak repoerted an 8% drop from last year. Of course, this is still
more than it was in 1990!

The precipitous decline in their major marketplace is issue #1, Kodak's poor
management is right behind at #2.

No, only when the two different people make the identical incorrect
observation.
