- Once more I'm glad I live in europe. At least here they _can't_ stop me
- disassembling their code and writing compatibility for it into programs
-
- There is a definite case for having a free image format on CD, to that
- kind of standard, maybe not so efficient or clever as photo-cd. The
- inevitable alternative will be half a dozen major different formats all
- incompatible. We've spent twenty years getting in a total mess with the
- computer industry making this mistake - do we have to do it again ?
-
- On the flip side of the coin at least the prices kodak are charging
- for their facilities are not unreasonable.
