This begs two interresting questions....
        
        1) William: for what occation were you being photograped by TIME?
           You must be some sort of celeberty, who I fail to know,
        
        2) John, Clint et.al: with your propper service regularly, what
           should we expect from our OM bodies? I have one body that falls a
           few rolls short of 4000 (an OM2s/p, btw.) - should I start to
           worry, or?
