Giles,

Your point is well-taken. One of the reasons I asked the question was that
discussion of OM-2(x) and -4(x) board failures seemed to give the impression
that a good working example was in danger of imminent demise.  From the
responses, I believe we have a proper correction of this impression.  I had
just found a good working OM-2S and was starting to feel like it was a time
bomb.  Most of these responses have quelled my fears.  I like the camera a
lot and hope to have it for many years.

Joel
