#PhotoCD
It's too bad that Kodak isn't taking the approach that CBS took way back when
it developed the 33 1/2 RPM LP record. CBS licensed the technology to other
manufacturers for $1/year! Kodak should be doing everything they can to make
the PhotoCD format readable by anyone and everyone. At Kodak's scale, a $15K
license fee is peanuts for their corporation. They will make much more money
if they can get EVERYONE using PhotoCD's. It's the prospect of millions of
consumers eventually using them which offers them real earnings potential.
It's especially silly given the prominence of the Amiga as multimedia platform.
Once again it looks like short term bean-counting winning out over long term
intelligent planning.
