I agree. While I have the Minolta and Nikon pro cameras, I have had great performance out of the old "Instamatic" cameras with the flash cubes, and with the current "cardboard" throw-aways.

"...Find something else to HATE or to blame your problems on. I'm sure you have quite a list...."

Gee all I said was I hoped a program did not get cut. I treasure diversity programs.

It sounds more like you are projecting some preconceived notion of my meanings, into my statements.
Sounds like you are looking for something to take offense at. [Eek!]

Bigotry leads nowhere.

The vast majority of the people in the world who buy consumer FILM are NOT White Anglo-Saxon Protestants!

Then, I want all my stuff made by someone other than those White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. The bums!

John Said:

Mr. Rodli is sincere in his belief that corporate Kodak will continue to invest in and support its strong and growing motion picture FILM business

That's all well and good, John. BUT, next time you talk to Eric, tell him for me that I'm ***still*** pissed he hasn't returned my VHS tape of "A New Leaf" he borrowed when he was my boss at Iwerks!

I either want that tape back or a high $$$ paying job with him in Hollywood since that's where he is located! I have no talent or experience in anything.

Feel free to send/email him my post! [evil]

I suspect the tape suffers "sticky-shed" by now, but I'll pass along your "reminder" and greetings. [Smile]

Does that mean I can still get a job at Kodak, or have they already filled that diversity requirement? [Big Grin]

If a little diversity is good a whole lot is better. Better way to much than not enough. Wasps have had it to good for too long!
