[Timothy Atherton]

> AZO is on the kill list.....

Yep - the only one I'm a little sad about...

According the Michael Smith the last production run was 5 years worth (what
will happen to the warehouse stock/rolls in six months time is anyone's
guess)

Here's the release I was sent:

Kodak Announces Discontinuance of KODAK PROFESSIONAL Black & White Papers

June 15, 2005 Due to the significant declines in market usage of papers
designed for Black-and-White printing, Kodak is discontinuing the
manufacture of all KODAK PROFESSIONAL Black & White Papers.

This announcement has no impact on the production or availability of
Kodak's portfolio of Black & White Films and Chemicals for processing
Black and White Papers or Films.

Most of the Black & White Paper products will remain available through the
end of 2005 - although depending on demand, some specific formats or
