Probably meant, expecting to run out of remaining stock in December.

I didn't get that. They haven't actually manufactured the product in years? Why didn't they announce this when they actually stopped
manufacturing the product. Something's rotten in Denmark! (or is it Rochester)
I was thinking about writing a letter to Kodak, threatening to stop buying their E6 and C41 products if they stopped shipping Tech Pan, but
then I thought about it and realized that I had done that already.

Maybe we need to write letters to Kodak informing them that if this is how
they treat their long-time, loyal film customers, then when the time does
come we'll definitely never buy any of their *digital* offerings - hardware,
software or supplies. After all, if they demonstrate they can no longer be
counted upon in the traditional photography arena, why should they be
accorded any trust in the digital gadgets arena?

Just a thought...

What might that be? Isn't it more telling that they can shut down
production for years without running out of inventory? From this, it seems
clear that the market has abandoned TP, not the other way around.
