Re: Kodak buys RSI!!

I saw a lot of concerned posts this morning. Do you think that, in
addition to speculating about what will happen, we also should *ask*
that pieces of IDL that we use remain maintained and developed? I
personally plan to, because what I use IDL for (as well as some major
customers such as NASA and NOAA atmospheric modeling communities)
purposes other than image processing.
I realize that a decision is probably brewing already in their
headquarters, but we *can ask*. IMHO, it would not be very popular
tactics for Kodak to just discontinue a number of services that have
demand, and Kodak will not do that. But I think it will not hurt if
customers *asked* that those services continue.
Cheers,
