Re: [APML] Supra400-Kodak's reply (KMM3296729C0KM)

["Frank Barrett" <frankb02@bellsouth.net>]

Let's hope that Kodak's endorsement of E200 is an indication that they don't
have plans to "fix" this one anytime soon.
Long Live E200!

If E200 dies I might just get sucked into the "dark side"...but then again
if Lumicon gets resurrected there maybe hope for us film fanatics<g>
