Well according to the article that was the "old plan" - to depreciate the buildings/equipment by 2010 (meaning, presumably, production would stop by 2011). Supposedly the new plan extends it "through 2015." Not a huge difference, of course. Personally, I couldn't care less if Kodak is still around or not. They are largely consumer-oriented and as we've discussed, that element of film photography is all but dead - thus, Kodak by extension should be nearly dead. I've only ever shot one roll of Kodak and it was ok, but I won't cry if they're gone.

In fact, Kodak's failure may be just what the market needs. Remove one of the giants that's currently diluting revenues and the other companies may then be able to gain enough volume to survive.
