I read this morning in The New York Times that Kodak is going to trim 10,000 
jobs. Deutsche Welle reports, however, that Kodak is going to shed 25,000 
jobs. 

Whether this means for the future of film, I don't know, but I do know that 
it means I will quickly start to figure out what products to buy as 
replacements for the Kodak items I use. They have lost my confidence. 

I would have thought that Kodak would keep some presence in the film world 
so that it could outlast the lesser capitalized companies, but it looks like 
Kodak's chief has ordered a general retreat.
