Say bye-bye to Polaroid

Say bye-bye to Polaroid films...

"Polaroid Corp., the Massachusetts company that gave the world instant film photography, is shutting down its film manufacturing lines in the state and abandoning the technology that made the company famous." (http://www.boston.com/business/technology/articles/2008/02/08/polaroid_shutting_2_mass_facilities_laying_off_150/)

I for one am going to have a problem with this. I use a lot of Polaroid film to check exposure when I shoot medium format film.

Does this mean we can't get Polaroid cameras anymore?!
(Or am I asking a stupid question?)

Oh no! I won't be able to get film for my old school Polaroid camera >.<

I knew they were shutting down some of the Kodak film factories. At least Kodak didn't monopolize the film world.

I'm worried in the future we may be seeing more news like this....

I've always wanted to play with polaroid D: this is terrible...
