P3D No More Kodak 25?

[LSmart@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Smart, Lattie MD06)]

Paul Ivester informs me that Great Yellow Father of Rochester, in his
Infinite Wisdom, is dropping Royal Gold (nee Ektar) 25 ASA print
film, as only a few "pros" are using it (and maybe a few of those deviant
stereographers).

Hmmmm...Get rid of the ultra-fine grain, 25 ASA print film? - CHECK!

And...consider phasing-out archival, fine grain Kodachrome,
once the flagship film product? - CHECK!

And...produce only high-speed, don't-give-a-crap, second-rate
FUJI imitations and promote the less-than-full-frame APS
films for lobotomy-and-shoot snaps of Aunt Mitilda and
South of the Border, SC vacation? - DOUBLE-CHECK!!

Yes, YES! Why didn't Kodak think of these money-saving steps
before? It'll be the biggest thing since the Kodak Instant! Or the
Disk camera. NO, make that the consumer photo CD machines!
Is this a great country, or what?
