Just over a year ago -- September of 2000 -- I bought brand new 
from B&H an OM-4Ti, Motor Drive 2 with battery pack and charger.  
That ought to be enough of a contribution for two years.  Maybe an 
E-20 this spring before going to Alaska in June.  My spousal 
excuse will be that it's necessary to avoid any airport film x-ray 
hassles.
