I hope they recover. I don't like to see a company that made history decay like this.

It is sad that Kodak has fallen on hard times but the writing has been on the wall for a long time. Substandard products helped to ruin Kodak such as noisy printers, poorly performing digital cameras, and constant changes in film format. I have one those noisy Kodak printers that cannot even print a decent photo. I have to use my Epson printer which I got in a Camera tie in promotion. The Kodak printer is supposed to save me money on ink yet eats cartridges like crazy though it does do a decent job of printing documents. I might be lucky if I can find Kodak ink jet cartridges in the future. Kodak has got to make better stuff. Everybody else does.

I've read they are going to focus on printers. They could try to insert themselves more in the printing area, not just equipment, but printing services. But then this may be a saturated market as well.

Not good to see happen...the age of digital is ultimately responsible for killing Kodak and they probably didn't react fast enough and could not recover.
