Kodak discontinues HIE and a bunch of Ektachrome

[P. J. Alling]

It is because MBAs use esoteric methods to come to the conclusion that 
short term profits, (a 5 year time horizon usually), drive long term 
goals.  This is an example of that kind of thinking.  If you're an MBA, 
I'd like to say I'm sorry if you're offended, but I'm not.  Since I cut 
an pasted the quote from someone else's web site, I don't really care 
that much.  It will be changing some time soon anyway.  Probably by 
another O'Roarke quote but I've got my eye on one by "Throup".   This is 
after all a mailing list.  How much care should one give it?
