- An interesting use of "Kodak" exists in recording studios. I was
- working in Solid State Logic's demonstration studio one day and an
- engineer said "Are you planning to Kodak it or milk it?" meaning are
- you planning to put the mikes back to get the big picture or put the
- mikes close in to hear the musicians breath.
