    It's still around? Huh... good riddance. It's obsolete.

    Didn't Bill Cosby invent polaroid or something? I mean he was in all the commercials. Surely it meant he was somehow relevant to the process.

    I thought he invented Kodak. And Pokeymans.

    Oh well. I thought they died out years ago.

    I won't miss Polaroids. The only redeeming thing about them is their immediacy. This, to me, does not make up for the small image size, washed-out colors and the trademark fuzziness inherent to the brand. Not to mention the film was always very expensive.

    They aren't as immediate as digital anyway :D.

    Was it Kodak? My bad memory really screws up any commercial's attempt to get me to buy stuff by association.

    You get the printout faster than digital...but you sure couldn't take many shots.

    Huh? Polaroids were made by Polaroid.

    Nope... it's kind of too bad, really, but with digital film around... it didn't have a chance.
