	It is sort of amusing that just after the Kodak announcement, but
BEFORE all Kodak dealers received instructions to cease selling cameras (a day
or two hiatus), various entrepreneurs were buying as many cameras as they
could locate.  Why?  Because they could buy a camera for ~ $ 29.00 and
exchange it for stock worth ~ $ 45.00.
