RE: [APML] Confirmation of TP end of life?

["Lane, Jason R" <jason.lane@navy.mil>]

I feel like I'm missing an era...I haven't yet tried Tech Pan and I may never get to.

OT here, but..Does anybody else feel that now more than ever in business the bottom line is most important to the exclusion of all else...perhaps *too* important?  That is, product, costumer service, and quality are sacrificed to generate the most profit?  Has it always been this way or am I just becoming more aware of it?

Why should Kodak sell us a $4 roll of film when they can sell us one of
those KAF chips?
I wish Fuji would buy the rights to make it. It's a shame such a great film
will be gone.
