Alaris buys EK. Then Alaris and Ilford form a joint venture to produce a instant camera, color reversal films (not K-14) return to the consumer market with branded items, central processing labs. Postcards etc.Microsoft invested 200 million dollars in Apple. That kept them alive. Who in their right mind is going to invest ANY money in Kodak?

Because that's what the Kodachromanistas do. They beat the issue to death. It's all that they can do since they know they will NEVER see Kodachrome return.
Frankly, Rather than resurrecting Kodachrome, I would like to see some progress on complete human body replacement. I am getting tired of the piece part repair and replacement, I could would like to replace my body in one procedure with one recovery and one rehabilitation.

I don't think Kodak could do that.
More likely that Kodak would do that than bring back Kodachrome.
Unfortunately that seems to be a pattern with Kodak in the past. They developed some cutting edge things and then failed to develop the market for them and/or spun them off to others. Digital is another great example, Kodak was a pioneer, they should be at the forefront of producing digital cameras.Kodak once had an excellent health sciences division which did some excellent work and produced some fine products. This was eventually sold to J&J and is still going fine situated in the old Kodak Park West.

Mind you, Sears had the edge on mail order/ecommerce with their catalogue, they should have been Amazon; instead they went bankrupt and disappeared in Canada.
The BOD that previously approved it and then got called out for doing so? Governing by PR.Big news out of Xerox today. The BOD is trying to quash the Fuji merger.
It makes me wonder, when did Kodak - properly Eastman-Kodak - go wrong? They led the photographic world for decades. I used to love their products; no not every one but the professional line was superb. Films, chemistry, literature, it was all there.Unfortunately that seems to be a pattern with Kodak in the past.

And Park Xerox gave Steve Jobs the operating system. JPL gave Ashton Tate JPLDIS which was ported to become dBase II. There is a long history of companies giving away their future because they did not know the value of it.

Hey, it's become sort of a fun thread! It's like watching some sort of horrible mutated crippled drooling gasping monster shambling along, you never know where it will go or what it will do, you can post whatever inane idiotic drivel you like, because said drivel fades to invisibility in the glare of other drivel already posted, and now I have to get ready for lunch with Santa, the Easter bunny, the tooth fairy, Elvis, and some scaly green guys.Please smother this thread...
