Godfrey, you view is certainly logical, if a bit dispassionate. I tend to impart a soul and personality to my possessions (and indeed items I want but will never own for lack of funds). I'm wondering if you had posters of cars, bikes or whatever on your walls as a teenager. I admire gadgets and equipment. I'm sure I give them more importance than they're really worth.
I guess my point with the post was to say that nobody will have any of the current crop of digital cameras in five to ten years time. We'll have dumped them for newer models or binned them because they're dead and cannot be repaired. And to contrast that with the thread about cameras we own and can't quite bring ourselves to sell even if we're not using them is interesting God help the poor prat who tries to send Pentax his K10 for service or even a CLA in 2015 let alone 2037. Cory I have a Super Program and a beautiful black MX that don't see enough use. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Godfrey DiGiorgi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Old things are interesting because they're old and remind us of good > times of the past we had with them, using them.
