Digital BW, The Print

Inside unnameable source (she still has a job there) says many films 
will be discontinued soon as part of an effort to save the company. It 
has been in chapter (?) for some time now and it's stock is worthless. 
They are getting killed by digital. They missed the boat. When was the 
last time someone shooting digital shot a Polaroid first? Looks like 
the only ones who may still be using their films are some police 
departments and artists. Sad but true; if not enough customers buy 
their films, why make them. They are trying to make digital printing 
papers, etc. now to keep their heads above water. Perhaps a buyout from 
some other struggling company will fit the menu.
