T...And the images faded in just a couple of weeks.<br /><br />True Polaroid story. The things sold like crazy of course, and Kodak tried to find a way into the market. Which wasn't all that hard, conceptually--buy some Polaroid film, and reverse-engineer it to see how it worked. Then find a *different way* to do the same thing. Which they did...except Land had patented many (I've seen numbers ranging from 7 to 12) ways of making self-developing pictures...Kodak (and other film companies) could never get to the Patent Office with something Land had not already patented.Don Coffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07198988872512792834noreply@blogger.com
