<p>Kodak-<strong>ugh</strong> ! Kodak blew it and it's that simple. It used to be the altar that most photo people worshiped at. They pretty much had a wrap on most things outside of cameras and clung on to that thinking that digital was probably a fad.</p>
<p>Myself, I did buy a few shares of the stock years ago at 70 plus bucks and I believe it is now around 5.00. My son picked me up one of their SLR camera's and after one year the lens locked up at full extension. The price to fix it is $220.00 and listed as a normal problem.</p>
<p>My final strike came this year. I did store a number of photos at their site and I spend quite a few months of 2009 in the hospital. Towards the end of the year I was ready to turn my computer back on and found out they sent a email that said if you didn't spend 15.00 a year they would dump your photos. I called them and told them the situation and that I would be happy to spend the fifteen bucks. Their response was pretty much "sorry, they are gone". If I was going to perish from thirst and Kodak was selling water for a penny a bottle I would not buy it.</p>
<p>I suffer from Irish alzheimer's which means I forget everything except my grudges. :))</p>
