Kodak still makes some fine digital cameras. The advent of affordable digital-SLR's has put those into alot of hands, but my wife has a REALLY nice Kodak camera that cost significantly less, shoots at a very respectable 14 mp, and gives the user a wide variety of functions and exposure modes - including full manual control.

Ah, Chuck and all the rest,
People after my own heart. Built my own mono audio system with Heath Kit components back a few years. Still have a roll of Super 8 movie film in the fridge as well as a color-film developing kit that I'll probably find when the chemicals eat their way out of the bottles. Now, what was the name of that company that invented the digital camera (and shot itself in the foot by ignoring it)? Oh, yes, now I remember - Eastman something, Kodak wasn't it?
Anybody remember when floppies were really really floppy? Yeah, those 8 inchers that stored a shade less that a whole megabyte and ran on a computer with a big 64KB of RAM? Wow! What a powerhouse, home built, too.
Looks like there are might be more wings for that museum that you thought.

I didn't want to dig out the old VCR and hook it up. It's been in a box in the basement for about ten or twelve years. And THEN I'd have to locate the VHS tapes. Probably all that stuff is down there next to my Victrola and 8mm movie camera & projector. The Hards wing of the Obsolete Technology museum.
