There's where we strongly disagree.  I don't think there's a chance in "heck"
that a company like 3Discover could even hope to become profitable with
"us" as their market.  So I'd rather they not try.  I'm not so much the
pessimist that assumes everybody will fail anyway.

Not that I'd mind being targetted, but I'd rather they attack the volume market,
become profitable, and then grow the market upward to where "we" are.  That
might actually have some hope of being sustainable.

P.S. - Is it not possible for a disposable to produce sufficient quality images
       to be similar in quality to the ones in their cartridges, keeping in mind
       that their cartridges are probably multi-generational images, and a user-camera
       strip would probably be at most a second-generational slide (or first generational
       "print").
