I'm feeling like I'm very much out of the mainstream these days. My
computer was made in 1994 (I bought it used in 95, it's predecessor
lasted 8 years), had a processor upgrade in '96. My motorcycles are air
cooled, and the big one only has 2 valves per cylinder. With the
exception of a mju-II my cameras are all manual focus. Only last night,
I was complemented on the quality of my photography by someone who was
still enthralled by his shiny new camera- I hadn't the heart to tell him
most of mine were taken with the OM-4 or 35RD, the latter of which is
older than him.
I'm not sure if this message has any point.
Yours in shared alienation....
