Since KODAK lost its patent battle with Polaroid, it has to stop making instant cameras and film. In addition, KODAK will (must?) exchange cameras already in consumer's possesion. The deal is that KODAK will give $50 in coupons for KODAK products or one share of KODAK stock for each camera returned. You can contact KODAK for further information by calling (at least in the 312 area code): 1-800-792-3000 --- Daniel M.

It is sort of amusing that just after the Kodak announcement, but BEFORE all Kodak dealers received instructions to cease selling cameras (a day or two hiatus), various entrepreneurs were buying as many cameras as they could locate. Why? Because they could buy a camera for ~ $ 29.00 and exchange it for stock worth ~ $ 45.00. ==> Larry Lippman @ Recognition Research Corp., Clarence, New York <== ==> UUCP {decvax|dual|rocksanne|rocksvax|watmath}!sunybcs!kitty!larry <== ==> VOICE 716/741-9185 {rice|shell}!baylor!/ <== ==> FAX 716/741-9635 {G1, G2, G3 modes} duke!ethos!/ <== ==> seismo!/ <== ==> "Have you hugged your cat today?" ihnp4!/ <==
