No more cameras or digital frames.

I have no idea what they're be doing, but it's odd to think that such a big name is gone.

Sometime back one of their engineers developed digital imaging technology, and tried to get Kodak to invest in it. Kodak passed. Kodak missed the bus when they could have owned it.

If memory serves.

Ahhhh. Didn't read it because I wasn't surprised by your summary.

Like Memorex: "He wants what? Yeah, sell him that stupid little mouse thing."

Or RealNetworks: "A portable music player and software for purchasing and organizing your music? STUPID!!"

Or whatever that company was that competed with Gates: "Meet with IBM? Nah, I'm going flying!"
