This is a followup to my own article, in which I inquire about an alleged 
rumor that Kodak lost a lawsuit against Poloroid for violating a patent of 
Poloroid's.

The rumor is fact:  Kodak did indeed lose the lawsuit, and is giving 
consumers who own the now-obsolete "Trimprint" cameras three choices:

	1.  a $50 coupon good for any Kodak products;
	2.  one share of Kodak common stock (worth about $48); or
	3.  a Kodak Tele Challenger disk camera and film (worth about $45).

All options are available only by contacting Kodak at 1-800-792-3000, and 
you must trade in your camera.

More information can be found in the _Wall Street Journal_, dated 8-Jan-86
(or was that 9-Jan-86?) on page 19.  The article is entitled:  "Kodak 
Owners Advised:  'Take the Rebate and Run'".

Many thanks to those of you who replied to me directly, and to those of 
you who posted a followup message.
